From www.themandarin.com.au: Australia faces a significant issue with the deskilling of migrants, with 44% working below their potential, which could contribute an additional $9 billion to the economy if fully utilised.

Successful overseas models, such as Germany’s employment counselling services and financial incentives for skill recognition, highlight potential solutions for better integrating migrants.

Proposed initiatives in Australia include tailored support for skills recognition, a central information portal, and employment pathways to optimize the contributions of skilled migrants and refugees.
