Population Mobility And Prostitution In Southeast Asia
While most countries of Southeast Asia resist the classification of prostitution as an industry, or sex work as an acceptable occupation in national statistics, there is no doubt that millions of women in the region earn a livelihood from selling sexual services. To do this virtually all of these women are forced to leave their birthplaces and residences and migrate to places where they will have some anonymity. Often this migration is involuntar…
The Transnational Migration Strategies of Chinese and Indian Students in Australia
Countries engaged in a race for highly skilled labour are prepared to modify immigration regulations to attract those migrants; however, despite abundant research regarding the mobility of the highly skilled, the mobility of international students and their subsequent migration patterns is not well understood. Using the transnational lens, this approach elucidates the practices and connections between multiples places in international student mig…
International Migration by Ethnic South and Southeast Asians
Internal and International Migration in East and Southeast Asia
Internal and international migration have increased exponentially in scale, complexity and significance in the last two decades. There are often strong relationships between internal and international migration, but they remain little understood because the two types of movement are conceptualised, measured and studied separately. This paper is divided into two parts. The first summarises the areas of both convergence and divergence in the types,…
Exploring relationship between social inequality and adaptations to climate change
Immigrant–native fertility differentials
International migration is increasingly important in shaping national population dynamics, both directly through adding or subtracting people, and indirectly, through the fertility of immigrants. International migrants rarely share the fertility characteristics of either origin or destination populations. However, the relationship between migration and fertility is little understood, especially that relating to refugee populations. This study exa…
A survey of retirement intentions of baby boomers
An important finding of this study is the large number of Baby Boomers who indicated that they would be happy to work part-time or never retire. Policies and continued dialogue aimed at making the workplace a safe, flexible and welcoming environment to accommodate this wish, and to entice others to take up this option over complete withdrawal from the labour force, is required
Change and Continuity in Australian International Migration Policy
Almost half Australia's population are an immigrant or the child of an immigrant. This paper traces changes in Australia's immigration policy over the postwar period and relates them to changing global and national developments. While Australian postwar immigration policy changes are similar in many ways to those in other “traditional” migration countries there are a number of distinctive elements. The effectiveness of those policies in achieving…
A Multi Sited Approach to Analysis of Destination Immigration Data
There has been a bias in standard international migration data collection and research toward immigration and destinations while emigration origins have been neglected. This has hampered our ability to provide a substantial empirical base for migration and development policy decision making in origin areas. While improvement of migration data collection in origin countries remains an important priority, this paper argues that much can be learned …
The Role of International Migration in Australia's Research Workforce
Academics, scientists and researchers have long been highly mobile, operating within international labor markets. Moreover, given their importance as crucial players influencing national economic development and prosperity there has been unprecedented competition among countries seeking to attract members of this highly-skilled group. It is demonstrated here that Australia has been important as both a destination and origin of scientists, researc…
Skilled Migration in Australia
By virtue of its island geography and isolation, Australia is able to control the scale and composition of immigration more than most nations. Accordingly, it has one of the most highly managed migration programs and intakes. Skill selection has been the major focus of both permanent and temporary migration programs in Australia over the last two decades. Government has continually modified the Permanent Migration Program so that not only are a h…
Migration and Climate Change
In this research review, Professor Hugo draws together key articles and papers by leading scholars and agencies which investigate the current and future effects of climate change on migration. Topics covered include the impact of climate change on the movement of people within and across countries, the economic and social effects of the forced displacement and resettlement of migrants, the flows of migration resulting from environmental disasters…

Employment and wage discrimination in the Chinese cities
Are baby‐boomers healthy enough to keep working? Health as a mediator of extended labour force participation
One strategy to reduce the economic impact of structural ageing is to increase and/or extend the workforce participation of older workers. Currently, a large proportion of this group consists of post‐World War II baby‐boomers (1946–1965) whose characteristics, experiences and attitudes differ markedly from their predecessors. Maintaining good health underpins strategies to extend workforce participation among baby‐boomers but there is little hard…
Environment-Related Resettlement in China
Environment-related migration in China is shaped by a complex set of factors and their interactions. The central question addressed in this study is: how does economic well-being at the household level change after displacement and what shapes it? Based on a survey of households displaced in the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province between 2004 and 2009, the study demonstrates that livelihood reconstruction is influenced by a mix…
The Economic Contribution of Humanitarian Settlers in Australia
This article assesses the economic role of refugee settlers in Australia. Refugee‐humanitarian labour force participation rates are lower than for other migrant groups or the Australia‐born. However, their labour market performance converges toward that of the Australia‐born over time. Moreover, the second generation performs at a higher level. There are a number of significant impediments to participation including language, education, structura…
From Permanent Settlement to Transnationalism – Contemporary Population Movement between Italy and Australia
Australia has one of the largest communities of overseas Italians which has evolved from a number of waves of migration. The contemporary migration relationship between the two countries is complex involving movement in both directions, much of it temporary. This article demonstrates that although there has been little permanent migration from Italy to Australia for several decades there has been a substantial increase in non‐permanent movements …
Welcome to our world? Immigration and the reshaping of New Zealand
Book Review: Welcome to our world? Immigration and the reshaping of New Zealand\nPAUL SPOONLEY & RICHARD BEDFORD, 2012 Dunmore Publishing, Auckland, New Zealand 325 pp. ISBN 978-1-927-21200-4, NZ$42.99 (soft)
Migration and Development in Asia and a Role for Australia
This paper argues that while the main drivers of economic development in the Asia-Pacific region will be a sound development policy and good governance, migration can play a facilitating role at a national, especially at a regional level within countries. It discusses the role of the demographic dividend and Asia-Pacific youth bulges in assisting development in the region and the potential role of migration in that context. It examines the eviden…
Rethinking Migration and Diversity in Australia
Planned mass immigration since 1947 has been a key factor in transforming Australia from a small, insular society looking mainly to Britain for its values and heritage, to a larger and more diverse

The Australian Baby Boomer Population—Factors Influencing Changes to Health-Related Quality of Life Over Time
If we are to maximize the future labor participation, and HRQoL, of this cohort, it will be necessary to reduce obesity and sedentary behavior and to further investigate the association between health and employment
Migration and Development in Malaysia
Malaysia is one of the countries most influenced by international migration, not only in Asia, but globally. Most attention is focused on its role as a major immigration country, but it also experiences significant emigration, having an estimated diaspora of 1.5 million people. This paper demonstrates the scale and composition of the contemporary Malaysian diaspora, and discusses its potential impacts on economic development. In undertaking this …
Future demographic change and its interactions with migration and climate change
An Evaluation of International Migration Theory
The article reviews empirical studies of international migration within the North American migratory system in order to evaluate the various theories that seek to explain the initiation and perpetuation of international movement. The review uncovers significant support for all theories suggesting that they constitute complementary rather than competing explanations of migration. One criticism is that far too much research is focused on Mexico who…
Urban-rural migration in Australia
Circular Migration in Indonesia
not only to the widespread incidence, but also to the social and economic significance of circulation, seasonal migration, and commuting within Indonesia. The bulk of this mobility, however, goes unrecorded in large-scale demographic surveys and censuses, which routinely adopt the familiar criteria and questions designed to detect predominantly longer distance, more-or-less permanent changes in usual place of residence. The low levels of the latt…

Best Practice in Temporary Labour Migration for Development
The dominant mode of international migration in Asia and the Pacific is temporary contract migration of low‐skilled workers. The potential for such migration to deliver significant development dividends to origin communities is substantial because of its large scale and the fact that most migrant workers return to their home community. However, there are a number of barriers that are intervening to dampen these potential positive effects, such as…
Future demographic change and its interactions with migration and climate change
Immigrant settlement outside of Australia's capital cities
The post‐war migration programme has added more than 8 million to the Australian population, but the immigrants have overwhelmingly settled in a few metropolitan areas. At each successive census an increasing proportion of the overseas‐born resided in capital cities until 2006 when there was a small reduction. The latter shift, while small, may herald a change in immigrant settlement. In 1996 the settler intake was divided into immigrants who cou…
Environmental Concerns and International Migration
This article focuses on international migration occurring as a result of environmental changes and processes. It briefly reviews attempts to conceptualize environment-related migration and then considers the extent to which environmental factors have been and may be significant in initiating migration. Following is an examination of migration as an independent variable in the migration-environment relationship. Finally, ethical and policy dimensi…

Which Skilled Temporary Migrants Become Permanent Residents and Why
While most countries of destination of temporary migrants expect them to return home, it is likely that some temporary migration will become permanent if the migrants decide that they would like to remain longer or indefinitely for various reasons. This paper examines the factors associated with temporary migrants' decision to become or not become permanent residents and the reasons for their decision, using survey data on skilled temporary migra…
The New International Migration in Asia
International migration has a long history in Asia but in recent years it has acquired an unprecedented scale and diversity and is a significant influence on the economic, social and demographic development of all Asian nations. International migration is now an established structural feature of the region although many nations still dismiss it as a temporary, passing phenomenon. Asian nations are developing international migration policies but m…
Residents’ perceptions of walkability attributes in objectively different neighbourhoods
An Australian Diaspora
Although Australia is best known as a country of immigration, around 1 million Australians currently live outside of their homeland on a permanent or long‐term basis. The present paper uses a number of quantitative and qualitative data sources to assess the extent to which Australia's expatriate community fulfils the four defining criteria of contemporary diasporas advanced by Butler (2001). These criteria include involving a scattering of two or…
Temporary Migration and the Labour Market in Australia
Australia's labour market is most influenced by international migration among OECD nations, but Australian research on this issue focuses almost exclusively on permanent settlement migration. The present paper, however, demonstrates that non-permanent migration has an important impact on the Australian labour market, although such migrants are not included in standard data collections and research on migrants and the labour market. A number of da…
Effects of International Migration on the Family in Indonesia
This paper draws upon various studies of internal and international migration and permanent and temporary movements to assess the diverse effects of migration on families in Indonesia. The types of effects examined include those on family structure and composition, family headship, marriage and divorce, intergenerational and intrafamily relationships, care of children and the aged, the economic situation of the family, the role and status of wome…

In and Out of Australia
China and India, with four out of ten of the world's inhabitants, must loom large in any discussion of global international migration, especially so-called South–North migration. They have become major sources of migrants to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations. This paper focuses on the migration relationship between China and India and one of the OECD nations, Australia. Australian international migration dat…

Internal and International Migration in East and Southeast Asia
Internal and international migration have increased exponentially in scale, complexity and significance in the last two decades. There are often strong relationships between internal and international migration, but they remain little understood because the two types of movement are conceptualised, measured and studied separately. This paper is divided into two parts. The first summarises the areas of both convergence and divergence in the types,…
Temporary Skilled Migration to Australia
With the 1996 introduction of a new visa making it easier for employers to sponsor skilled foreign workers, temporary skilled migration has become a significant component of international migration flows to Australia. This paper examines employers' reasons for sponsoring skilled workers from abroad, their modes of recruitment, the occupational skills they require, and their industry profile. We also discuss issues relating to the perception of a …

Demographic Trends in Australia's Academic Workforce
The ageing of the Australian population and its implications are now well‐established on the Australian public policy agenda. Part of this interest is in its impacts on the Australian workforce. It is less well known that different segments of that workforce have quite different age structures. The academic sector has one of the oldest workforces of all groups and this paper analyses its contemporary age structure and its evolution. It shows how …
Toward a New Conceptualization of Settlements for Demography
It has long been recognized that where people live and work can be a relevant factor in helping to explain demographic behavior, yet the treatment of location in censuses and surveys remains surprisingly crude. Emphasis is still being given to the urban-rural dichotomy based on definitions that most countries around the world introduced 40 to 50 years ago and have modified little since. Given the increase in the complexity of settlement systems i…

Circular Migration
Rural communities and small area forecasting
This paper demonstrates and evaluates two different but complementary methodologies of small area forecasting in a rural area some 80 km north of Adelaide. The first approach forecasts overall population trends using a sector‐by‐sector appraisal of the growth/decline prospects of each economic sector based on detailed field surveys carried out in 1968 and 1970. The second approach was to use the readily available 1971 census and corresponding vit…

Using Census Data to Study Elderly Migration
Although the elderly are the fastest growing of all age groups in Developed Countries, their migration remains little studied. Elderly migration differs in several fundamental ways from that of other age groups but many of the data collection and analysis procedures as well as basic concepts used in censuses have been developed with the working population in mind and are of limited utility in studying elderly migration. This article elucidates so…
Australia's Changing Population
Analyzing today's evolving demographic context in Australia, this book discusses such population issues as the graying of Australia, the scale and composition of current immigration, single parent families and changes in family composition, and school populations in towns and regions. The author brings forward important demographic changes and trends to highlight their social and economic implications for policymakers and planners in the private …
Population Movement in Indonesia Since 1971
This paper attempts to overview and assess developments in the scale, types and impact of population mobility in Indonesia since 1971." Difficulties concerning the availability of data are first considered. "Using qualitative and quantitative information from a range of sources it is evident in this paper that population mobility in Indonesia has a level, scale and complexity that belies the conventional stereotyping of most Indonesians as being …
The Demographic Dimension in Indonesian Development
The aim of this volume is to extend and update definitive work on population history in Indonesia by Widjojo Nitisastro which is considered most important starting point for any student of subject. The book also attempts to dispel simplistic approach of policy makers and general public to the population as though a country has only one problem and that it is solvable. The authors carefully analyze Indonesias demographic trends and their complex i…

Mobility and Employment in Urban Southeast Asia
"Migration and employment characteristics are compared for two intermediate-sized cities in Southeast Asia: Cebu, the Philippines, and Medan, Indonesia. Using samples of household interviews as a source of information, the basic characteristics of migrant heads of household in the two cities are examined. In addition the nature of the employment and the search for employment are analyzed and contrasted."

Knocking at the Door
This paper assesses the level and composition of contemporary Asian immigration to Australia and explores its processes and impacts. The final reversal of the White Australia Policy in the 1970s opened the door to substantial increases in Asian immigration, particularly from Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, China, India and Hong Kong. Most migrants are entering through the family reunion, refugee and business migration categories. Vietnamese d…
