“…Extrapolating from both the survey data of McWilliam and Monteiro (2019) and my own qualitative assessment, the SWP does not appear to create dependency. Rather, it feeds back into a system that now, as in the past, seeks to safeguard the sustenance and security of Timorese villagers by investing in basic needs and livelihood strategies that are perceived to be reliable.…”

In 2018–19 some 12,000 people from the Pacific and Timor‐Leste came to Australia with its Seasonal Worker Programme (SWP), part of a worldwide trend towards labour mobility. The ways in which Timorese workers use money earned individually within the SWP are shaped by broadly collectivist frameworks for understanding wealth and work embedded in their home communities. Drawing on fieldwork in Timor‐Leste and the literature on livelihood seeking and governance there, this article shows how for most Timorese in the SWP the impact of international work is mediated by local custom.
