Social integration and life and job satisfaction: the case of Sri Lankan and indian skilled migrants in Australia

This research investigated the extent to which Sri Lankan and Indian skilled migrants are socially integrated into Australian society and their level of life and job satisfaction. The survey results suggested that participants are socially integrated and satisfied with their jobs at a moderate level, and highly satisfied with their life in Australia. The results also indicated that social integration influences their level of life and job satisfaction. Findings suggest that there is a need to focus on developing and implementing policies that encourage supportive and inclusive behaviours towards skilled migrants at the societal and organisational level.
