A new study, entitled “Perverse policy incentives and inferior economic outcomes” has exposed the failings of Australia’s migration system, particularly the student visa system.
The study’s abstract is presented below:
Between 1999 and 2012, Australia enacted a raft of policies that advantaged overseas students when applying for permanent residency, through the so-called 880 visa series. These policies greatly enhanced prospective students’ prospects to secure permanent residency when pursuing specific qualifications.
