Spain, New Zealand and Australia have expanded the use of pre-existing temporary work quotas to target migrants from disaster-affected areas and areas facing adverse impacts of climate change
In May 2010, a joint ASEAN, Australia, and New Zealand task force developed ASEAN Qualifications Reference Framework (AQRF) as the mechanism to benchmark national qualifications frameworks into mutually comparable regional standards.
In 2007, New Zealand introduced the Recognised Seasonal Employers (RSE) Scheme to fill seasonal labour shortages in the horticulture and viticulture industries. Under this scheme, employers can apply for RSE status and then apply to fill vacant seasonal positions for which there are no New Zealand applicants.
The IGC is an informal, non-decision making forum for intergovernmental information exchange and policy debate on issues of relevance to the management of international migratory flows.
The IGC brings together 16 Participating States, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Organization for Migration and the European Commission. The Participating States are Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States of America.
New Zealand launched the Recognized Seasonal Employer (RSE) programme in 2007 to fill labour shortages in the horticulture and viticulture industries. The RSE began with an initial annual cap of 5,000 workers but that was raised to 8,000 for the 2009 season and 9,000 in 2015. Migrants are mostly recruited the Pacific island countries.
www.sendmoneypacific.org has been created through the joint Australian and New Zealand Governments' led initiative 'Reducing the Cost of Remittances to the Pacific'. The project has been developed and managed by the project partner, Developing Markets Associates Ltd (DMA)
In 2006, New Zealand introduced the Recognized Seasonal Employers Scheme (RSE) to fill labour shortages in the horticulture and viticulture industries. Under this scheme, employers can apply for RSE status to fill vacant positions. Priority is given to migrants coming from the Pacific, with the idea of encouraging a mutually beneficial relationship where employers have access to a secure labour supply and workers gain entrance into the New Zealand labour market.
The study attempts to measure various economic impacts of immigration on New Zealand. For those impacts where evidence or methods are currently lacking, the study draws on findings from international research that are also likely to apply to New Zealand to make an estimate of what the relationship might be, as well as suggesting a research strategy to fill the gaps in the long-run.
