Changes in the Demographic Behaviour of Migrants in Australia and the Transition between Generations
Mortality of migrants in Australia is generally lower than in their countries of origin and in comparison with the Australian-born population (but with a few important exceptions), and there is relatively little change with longer duration of residence in Australia. Except for migrants from the less developed countries, the average completed family size of most birthplace groups in Australia seems to follow the levels in the countries of origin. …

Migration and Mortality: The Experience of Birthplace Groups in Australia
Wide diversity exists in the mortality experience of different birthplace groups in Australia, and this also occurs with respect to their cause of death profiles. Most migrant groups experience lower mortality in Australia than in their country of origin, and most experience lower mortality than the Australian-born population. In the latter case the main expectations are the Scots, Irish, Poles, South Pacific Islanders, Scandinavian men and North…

The role of medical factors in the failure to achieve desired family size
Because of the widely held view that a family size of less than two children is undesirable, this paper investigates the extent to which medical conditions occur among one-child and childless families and influence ultimate family size. A partial solution to the inability to have more than one child is adoption, and the extent to which couples use adoption to attain the desired family size is discussed. Regardless of whether or not family size is…
The Family Life Cycle
Work Sequences of Women during the Family Life Cycle
This study identifies the main work sequences qf women during the first three stages qf marriage-before having children, when the children are preschool age, and when the children have begun school. Also considered is the influence of level of education, birthplace and year of marriage on work sequence, and an A.LD. analysis illustrates the characteristics of women most likely to adopt a given pattern of work. The discussion also relates to the c…
Spacing of children and changing patterns of childbearing
The first part of the paper traces changes in the length of the childbearing period and ages of women at the time of their first and last births among women in Australia married between 1905–09 and 1965–69. The source of information was survey data concerning the respondents themselves (once married, currently married women aged under 60 years at 1971) and information that they gave concerning their mothers' childbearing experience. The main obse…
Factors associated with the timing and duration of the leaving-home stage of the family life cycle
Based on empirical age distributions of sons and daughters leaving home, an examination is made of the theoretical effect of three factors - the sex composition of the family, the interval between births, and their reasons for leaving home - on the dynamics of the leaving-home stage in the life cycle of two-child families. Consideration is given to four measures, the timing of the beginning and end of the leaving-home stage, its duration, and the…
Introducing the age-profile: An index of survival
This paper introduces the concept of the ‘age-profile’, which represents the proportions of cohort populations surviving from birth to a given year. Life tables for Australia and three-dimensional diagrams based on these data are used to illustrate the difference between the ‘age-profile’ values for a given year and the transverse survival values for the same year. The last part of the paper describes areas in which the ‘age-profile’ might be use…
