๐ฅ What’s the Big Deal:
Immigration fuels economic growth, but flawed policies hinder its full potential ๐. Immigrants contribute to workforce growth, innovation, and tax revenues, while having neutral to positive effects on wages ๐ต. However, restrictive labor rights leave immigrant workers vulnerable, harming all workers in shared markets ๐. Policy reforms—such as granting full labor rights and reducing reliance on temporary visas—would empower workers, strengthen industries, and create equitable growth ๐ผ. For Pacific regions, inclusive policies could bolster labor markets, diversify innovation, and promote regional resilience .
