  ABSTRACT: The Seasonal Employment Scheme (SES) has been running in the Asia-Pacific region by New Zealand and Australia since 2007. Its merit has increased in recent months and past year, particularly due to the impact Covid-19 has had on economies worldwide, including the high unemployment rate which has occurred in some economies in the region. The economic benefits from the scheme imply that most economies will continue running the scheme and may be open to ideas or suggestions, which could potentially increase their gains from the scheme. This paper follows research into the influence of the SES on the available pool of workers, specifically private businesses in a middle-income economy in the Pacific. It provides possible strategies which could assist in improving the operation and management of the scheme in a way that minimizes the losses felt by the drain of labour and provides suggestions on how to spread the gains from the scheme economy-wide.
