We cordially invite you to submit research papers and case studies addressing the implications of trade and FDI on the labour market for presentation in this conference. With financial support from the Australia China Council, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, this conference provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the implications of trade and FDI on labour markets in Australia and China—two close trade partners in the Asia-Pacific area. With the aim of opening a dialogue on how different groups are affected in the labour market, the forum will allow stakeholders to exchange ideas and demonstrate how to ride the waves of globalisation to promote labour force diversity and participation, while being cautious of the negative impact of international trade and cross-border investment on local workforce.
