Transitional migrant workers(highly skilled) in AustraliaIntroductionSince the late 1970s, the Australian immigration industry has been growing rapidly, and thenumber of immigrants in Asia and other non-European countries has increased substantially,making Australia a multicultural country, the largest component of migration is the technologymigration and family reunion program. In terms of skilled migration, Australia has over 128,500available places in 2015-2016 under the country's General Skilled Migration program ('AustraliaSkilled immigration' n.d.). This wiki will discuss how political, economy and legal factorsimpact the immigration in Australia. Secondly it will discuss and show the different culturalaspects of Australia and how this influences migrant workers (high skilled) in Australia. Lastly,will discuss the Porter diamond model relate the migration industry.Relations between political economy factors of AustraliaPolitical SystemEvery country have a political system involving immigrants and policies like visas and taxes were created in the Australian political system (Collins 2013, pp. 160). For migrants interested in business they are issued short term visas for either single entry or for multiple entries and those interested in temporary business are issued with long term visas allowing highly skilled personnel to come to Australia to work for an approved employer for up to four years (Janet 2006). Furthermore, the tax system imposed on the migrant's wage is to avoid corruption or underpayment (Janet 2006).Economic systemWhen it comes to the Australian economic system, the creation of free market and free trade have opened many new job opportunities to migrant workers (Economic System Australia 2007). Moreover, an increase or decrease of the Australian securities exchange will influence the entering ofmigrant workers. The economy and stock market affect the success of different companies, and this achievement or failure flows down the business chain and affects its employees who could be transnational migrant workers. It also can affect the hiring rate of people due to the company's power to do so with their profits (Economic System Australia 2007).Legal SystemNext, the Australian legal system includes both the Statutory Law and Common Law but the laws may differ in each country. Therefore, the employment rate of high skilled migrant workers will be affected by the acceptance of projects in the country depending on the approval of the legal system ('Overview of the Australian Legal System' n.d.).Informal economyThe informal economy of most countries are corruption.According to the Transparency International,Australian industries is less based on the Corruption Perceptions Index that was determined by expertassessments and opinion surveys (Corruption Perceptions Index 2017). However, corruption influences people to work side jobs on top of their primary or actual job and also enter legal firms by bribing the board members or owners.Australia’s Cultural aspectsOnce looking through the 6D lens of Geert Hofstede's research it paints quite a detailed picture of Australian different cultural aspects. As the diagram shows the scores below, it enables us to
discuss the different aspects of Australia’s social culture and then interpret it on how it would affect high skilled migrant workers in Australia. Appendix 1- Australia - Geert HofstedeIndividualism and IndulgenceThis research shows that Australia has a score of 90 when it comes to Individualism and 71 in indulgence ('Australia - Geert Hofstede' n.d.). This proves that Australia's culture is one where people look after mainly on themselves and their immediate families including the business world initiative and self reliance that is ranked highly. In addition to this it also shows that Australian culture is one of the indulgence where people like to enjoy themselves through leisureand spending their money on necessities and luxuries items or lifestyle. In business this shows that Australia does have competition among each other and overseer. This competition or rivalry is because people are trying to look after their own interests but on the contrary know that once they are out of work they would like to spend their time and money on hobbies and interest that satisfies there indulgent side. Masculinity and Uncertainty AvoidanceWhen looking at the other aspects, Australia received a score of 61 in masculinity and 51 in uncertainty avoidance ('Australia - Geert Hofstede' n.d.). This shows that society in Australia places strength on the masculine traits such as striving to be the best you can be and "winner takes it all". In addition to this a medium score of 51 in Uncertainty Avoidance shows that Australian people are divided by whether they like being in an ambiguous or unknown situations.This can be related to business as it could be said that success is based on winning and this creates competition and rivalry throughout business but remains neutral on whether they like to compete in ambiguous situations or remain in comfortable situations.Power distance and Long Term Orientation
