INTERNATIONAL Fiji: Emigrant workers boost economy

Fiji recruitment firm Access United’s managing director Varinava Tiko has told Australia’s Radio Australia that the country could make more than A$100m (£66m) over the next 10 years from money sent home by nationals working overseas.

Tiko also told the radio station that the recruitment industry’s reputation is poor, with many firms exploiting workers and misleading them about what they might expect from a new job overseas.

Tiko picked out security, nursing and agricultural labour as areas in which Fijian migrant labour makes a particular impact.
