Information technology and Australia's immigration program: is Australia doing enough?

Business leaders have argued that Australia is not doing enough to attract IT specialists. The example of Asian experts in Silicon Valley is cited as an example for us to emulate. An examination of the U.S. experience show that Australia has in place far more generous skilled-migration arrangements than does the U.S. The Asian achievement in the U.S. is not due to liberal immigration policies but is primarily a consequence of the importance of Asian students in the output of PhD level scientists and engineers from U.S. universities.
