How Covid-19 Impacted the Immigration in Australia?

Workforce skills have been cited by Prime Minister Scott Morrison as the "single biggest problem facing the Australian economy" as it attempts to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. It's a top issue, according to employer surveys.

A further worry is the anticipated 85% decline in net international migration from 2018–19 levels in 2020–21 as a result of border closures connected to COVID. The urgency of increased and more flexible temporary and permanent migration has been emphasised by the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA), as the post-pandemic recovery increases the competition for talent and skills on a worldwide scale. Australia runs the danger of losing talented people to more alluring locations.

The decrease in foreign arrivals intoAustralia is not unexpected, but the increase in outbound migration was not predicted in the most recent data from the Australian Bure au of Statistics

. According to information made public on December 17 2022, Australia lost 88,800 persons in 2020–21 as a result of COVID's effects oninternationalmigration.
