Canada's migration cuts may hold lessons for Australia
Original: Would slashing migration tank the economy or reset Australia's living standards? Canada may offer clues https://www.theg
A debate is under way over whether Australia should sharply cut migration levels, with Canada cited as a potential example. Supporters argue lower migration could ease pressure on housing and lift living standards, while economists warn it risks triggering a technical recession and slowing growth, as Canada's recent experience with reduced intake is being closely examined.
Why now: Migration levels are a live political issue in Australia, and Canada's recent cuts offer a test case for the economic consequences.
