Reconceptualising Social Integration
Research on migrant social integration has focused mainly on international migration, leaving internal migration, especially in the Global South, underexplored as a site of theory‐building. This paper reconceptualises social integration through an empirical study of young internal migrants in Sunyani, Ghana, a secondary city characterised by informality and decentralised governance. Drawing on a mixed‐methods design of survey data and qualitative…
The Unfolding Crisis
The transition from military to civilian life presents significant challenges for Australian veterans, particularly in terms of their social health and overall well-being. This study investigated the declining relevance of the Returned & Services League (RSL) as a support network for veterans, explicitly focusing on South Australia. Historically known for fostering camaraderie, the RSL now faces diminishing membership and reduced participation in…
Navigating the North–South Migration in Ghana
Although internal migration is a significant contributor to urbanisation and human development in Africa, it has received modest attention from researchers compared to international migration. Both theory-building and empirical documentation of internal migration processes have been neglected. This study applies international migration frameworks to analyse interviews with young people about their migration from rural northern Ghana to Sunyani, a…
Internal migration and multidimensional wellbeing
Migration is widely regarded as a principal form of activity available to many of the world’s poor to improve their household’s standard of living. This paper investigates whether and in what ways internal migrants benefit from moving within Ghana’s North-South migration context. This research uses an innovative multidimensional wellbeing framework to assess the effects of migration on migrants’ wellbeing based on six domains: living standards, h…
Explaining the role of proximate and indirect determinants on fertility decline in Timor-Leste
Instruments to identify risk factors associated with adverse childhood experiences for vulnerable children in primary care in low- and middle-income countries
Vulnerable children exposed to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are lacking visibility in healthcare and social welfare support systems, particularly in countries where there are delays in integrating biopsychosocial care into traditional medical care. This review seeks to identify, evaluate, and summarise existing screening instruments used in measuring risks factors related to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in vulnerable children in P…
Maintaining Women’s Wellbeing
An online survey conducted in two Australian states (South Australia and Victoria) to study the impact of the pandemic on multi-dimensional wellbeing of individuals found that a higher proportion of women maintained overall wellbeing. Although women reported lower levels of wellbeing in psychological health and similar rates of physical health and living standards compared to men, they achieved higher levels of wellbeing in the ecology and commun…
Violent peace
The 1997 Peace Accord in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) promised to bring an end to decades of violence in the region. However, 25 years later, the region is still experiencing social conflict between indigenous Pahari people and Bengalis, who have migrated and settled in large numbers since the 1970s. This paper examines the reasons for the continuation of social conflict through a survey on community attitudes and relations. The survey findin…
Climate change events in the Bengali migration to the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) in Bangladesh
The internal migration of Bengali people to the CHT since the 1970s has been a significant factor in the long-standing ethnopolitical conflict in this region. The prevailing view is that while poverty and environmental disasters were push factors in this migration, government settlement programmes were primarily responsible for this population shift. This article offers a fresh perspective on this historic migration by exploring its environmental…
Changing Australian leisure mobilities in the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect leisure mobilities globally. In Australia, the pandemic has radically influenced the mobilities of domestic tourists, with travellers subjected to dynamic and intermittent restrictions on both intrastate and interstate movement since March, 2020. This paper reports on the findings of a study conducted between June and July 2020 that explored Australians' intentions to participate in tourism as COVID-19 le…
Timor‐Leste's demographic challenges for environment, peace and nation building
Timor‐Leste's nation‐building process faces significant demographic challenges because of its current and prospective population dynamics. Based on the 2010 census data this paper projects the demographic structure of Timor‐Leste by 2030 and discusses the impact of the same on peace, development and environmental sustainability. This paper projects that Timor‐Leste's population will increase from 1.06 million in 2010 to 1.82 million in 2030, and …
Investigation into the population growth and its implications for primary schooling in Timor-Leste by 2020
The nation-building process of Timor-Leste, the newest nation in Asia, faces significant demographic challenges due to its high population growth, which is the fastest in Asia. The major contributor for this unprecedented growth is the extremely high total fertility rate of Timor-Leste, among the highest in the world. It is of great concern that if the current fertility rate and its implied population growth continue the population of Timor-Leste…
