Abstract

The labour market integration of migrants presents a persistent conundrum. The Australian story – as that of other migrant destinations – is largely told as a success story: the skilled migration program with its focus on bringing human capital into the country seems to be working well. Human capital is objectively measured through a points system allocating points for educational qualifications, work experience, English proficiency and age.
