TL;DR

The implications of the Joint Standing Committee on Migration (JSCM) report on the labor market impact of Working Holiday Makers and "backpackers" in Australia are presented and future policy concerning these groups is cited.

Abstract

The Joint Standing Committee on Migration’s concerns about the impact of Working Holiday Makers on the Australian labour market have yet to be acted on by the Government. However, the rapid growth in the number of temporary workers at a time of labour market deregulation and increased casual and part-time work means that it is urgent that these concerns be addressed.
