Australia in 2022-23 has seen record net immigration, as have other countries such as New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

We discuss the structure of Australia’s immigration system, the economics of our policy choices, and what might be a more sensible immigration program.

Leith is the Chief Economist at Macrobusiness.
