Transnational lives of Taiwanese working holiday makers in rural Australia
- Indicative Funding
- $71,296 over 3 years
- Summary
- This research is to understand the transnational lives of Taiwanese working holiday makers (WHM) in rural Australia, including their cultural, social and economic experiences, and their perception of and interaction with rural Australian society. While Taiwanese are the second largest WHM group in Australia, little is known about them, and nothing about their experience of employment in regional Australia. There ;is an urgent need to understand this substantial group of temporary migrants, whose prese3nce essentially represents Taiwan to the rural Australian community, and whose labour contribution is potentially critical to the future of Australian rural development.
