Diving or thriving? How Covid-19 reshaped Australian short-term rental submarkets
Short-term rental markets are constantly evolving in response to dynamic market conditions. Leveraging the large-scale external market shocks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper aims to better understand how short-term rental submarkets are formulated in response to changing market conditions. Using sequence analysis on monthly booking records between mid-2019 and the end of 2022 in Australia, this paper identifies six distinct short…
New Household Projections for Australia
In common with many other advanced economies, Australia is experiencing a crisis of worsening housing affordability. While some of the causes are longstanding, the crisis comes at a time of very high population growth driven by record high net immigration. This paper considers what the underlying demographic demand for housing, as expressed by the number of households, is likely to be over the next few years and then further ahead out to 2041. Pa…
Does a 180-day cap on short-term rentals affect housing markets? Evidence from regional New South Wales
Can removalist data be used to estimate internal migration in Australia
International Migration and Development
This research note explores the impact of international migration on global population distribution since the 1990s. The impact of migration on population distribution is a function of both the intensity as well as the effectiveness of migration, that is the imbalance between flows and counter-flows. The presence of reciprocal flows is a well-recognized feature of international migration systems; however, this dimension has been difficult to capt…
The ontology, measurement, and features of temporary internal migration in selected countries of Asia
Temporary internal migration is an important livelihood strategy but there have been inconsistencies in its conceptualisation and measurement which limit understanding of the phenomenon across diverse geographical contexts. This paper explores the ontological category of temporary internal migration and how it is defined and measured in eight Asian countries. We identify three broad approaches to measurement: Place of enumeration; Multilocality a…
Understanding the association between (im)mobility and life satisfaction in Australia
Stayers are an important component of the internal migration system, yet despite their numerical significance, they are often treated as ancillary to movers in the migration literature. As a result, there is a conflict between the mobility‐centric view of immobility as undesirable and developing narratives which recognise staying as an active and consciously made decision. We therefore need to rethink immobility conceptually and empirically to sh…
Residential mobility responses to home damage caused by floods, cyclones and bushfires in Australia
Recent climate disasters serve as a reminder of the growing—yet overlooked—risk of climate-driven displacement in the Global North. This paper contributes to a nascent literature on disaster-induced mobility in high-income countries by extending the evidence to a new context: Australia. Applying propensity score matching to panel data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, we conduct the first causal assessmen…
Spatio‐Temporal Variation in the Bid–Rent Functions of Long‐Term and Short‐Term Rentals
Platform‐mediated short‐term rentals (STRs) are a relatively new addition to the housing landscape, providing accommodation on a temporal scale that falls between hotel stays and long‐term rentals (LTRs). Given the potential for STR hosts to charge significantly higher nightly rates for the same property than they might through an LTR lease enumerated in months or years, many have asked whether a ‘gap’ exists between the two, and how persistent t…
Reset or renaissance? An exploratory comparison of pre- and post-pandemic regional short-term rental markets in Australia
Following nearly a decade of unabated growth in the digitally disruptive short-term rental (STR) sector, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused a relatively abrupt two-year industry contraction characterised by substantial reductions in participating properties and booking activities. Given the sudden opportunity to rethink how STR markets fit alongside more traditional accommodation arrangements, this unanticipated Black Swan event ca…
Has the decline in the intensity of internal migration been accompanied by changes in reasons for migration
The last few decades have seen the intensity of internal migration decline in Australia and other advanced economies including the United States. Recent evidence suggests that changes in the composition of the population alone do not account for this persistent downward trend. This has led migration scholars to suspect that more profound behavioural changes driven by social, economic, and technological transformations are at play and that shifts …
A regional renaissance? The shifting geography of internal migration under Covid-19
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic there has been interest in the migration of city-dwellers to regional areas to escape lockdowns and movement restrictions, yet evidence of a ‘regional renaissance’ in Australia remains anecdotal. This paper aims to quantify the current and future dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic on the levels, patterns and drivers of migration to and from Australian cities and regions. Results show a 7% drop in the ra…
How will Covid-19 impact Australia's future population? A scenario approach
The socio-spatial determinants of Covid-19 diffusion
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 is an emergent infectious disease that has spread geographically to become a global pandemic. While much research focuses on the epidemiological and virological aspects of COVID-19 transmission, there remains an important gap in knowledge regarding the drivers of geographical diffusion between places, in particular at the global scale. Here, we use quantile regression to model the roles of globalisation, human settlement and …
Will the Covid-19 pandemic affect population ageing in Australia
Unbalanced growth in the labourscape
This paper investigates the role of human capital in explaining divergent employment growth within advanced economies. It adds a spatial dimension to William J. Baumol’s theory of ‘unbalanced growth’ by linking it with the concept of ‘job polarization’. We develop a theory of ‘geographical unbalanced growth’ that explains divergent employment trajectories in terms of skill restructuring. The theory is operationalized via a novel shift–share exten…
Forty years of internal migration in Australian regions
Australia is one of the most migratory countries in the world, yet as internal migrants typically represent only a small proportion of the population, the impact of stayers and transient populations need to be considered to create a fuller picture of regional population dynamics. To that end, this paper analyses net migration, population turnover, and population retention for 69 Australian regions from 1976 to 2016. Applying sequence analysis to …
Estimating temporary populations
The estimation of temporary populations is a well-established field, but despite growing interest they are yet to form part of the standard suite of official population statistics. This systematic review seeks to review the empirical literature on temporary population estimation and identify the contemporary “state of the art”. We identify a total of 96 studies that attempt to estimate or describe a method of estimation. Our findings reveal stron…

Decline in internal migration levels in Australia
Levels of internal migration have declined since the 1980s in many advanced economies. Australian studies remain largely descriptive, making it difficult to ascertain the extent to which the decline in aggregate levels of migration is due to shifts in the socio‐demographic composition of the Australian population or driven by deeper behavioural changes. This paper aims to address this gap by applying an Oaxaca‐Blinder decomposition method to indi…
The evolution of spatial networks of migration in Brazil between 1980 and 2010
While there is a large volume of research discussing the role of internal migration in the transformation of the Brazilian national settlement system, past studies have shown conflicting tendencies towards population concentration and dispersion. This paper analyses the evolution of the spatial networks formed by migration flows and the changes in the direction of these flows since the 1980s. Network analysis methods proved to be a valuable tool …
Internal migration in the countries of Asia
Internal migration, the movement of people between localities and regions within a country, has resulted in a significant redistribution of national populations. Past cross-national studies have been impeded by a lack of data and comparable metrics upon which to base comparisons. This paper examines internal migration in 30 Asian countries utilising a global dataset and a novel suite of measures devised in the IMAGE project. Three aspects of inte…
Impact of Internal Migration on Population Redistribution in Europe
The classical foundations of migration research date from the 1880s with Ravenstein’s “Laws of migration”, which represent the first comparative analyses of internal migration. While his observations remain largely valid, the ensuing century has seen considerable progress in data collection practices and methods of analysis, which in turn has permitted theoretical advances in understanding the role of migration in population redistribution. Coupl…
Migration flows between levels of the Brazilian urban hierarchy in the period 1980-2010
In the 1980s, an inflexion was observed in the spatial redistribution of the Brazilian population, attributed to the relative economic decentralization initiated in the 1970s, especially regarding industrial activities. These changes in the national space economy led to dramatic changes in the volumes and directions of migration flows. This paper researches the impact of the changing patterns of migration across the Brazilian urban hierarchy over…
Why do a PhD in geography? A sympathetic response to ‘the career aspirations and expectations of geography students
This article provides commentary on the changing nature of the geography PhD. Taking as a point of departure Rae Dufty‐Jones's article on the career aspirations and expectations of geography doctoral students published in this journal earlier this year, we frame the paper around a series of propositions that prospective higher degree candidates may find useful. We buttress Dufty‐Jones's argument with numerical evidence that the “supply” of Austra…
Life-Course Transitions and the Age Profile of Internal Migration
Despite underlying regularities in the age profile of migration, there is mounting evidence of cross-national variations in the ages at which migration occurs. Explanations for these differences have variously been sought by reference to cultural, social, and economic factors, and through analysis of reasons for moving. There is also a growing body of work linking migration events to particular transitions in the life course. We set out a concept…
Internal Migration and Development
Migration is the principal demographic process shaping patterns of human settlement, and it serves an essential role in human development. While progress has been made in measuring international migration, internal migration statistics are as yet poorly developed in many countries. This article draws on a repository of data established under the IMAGE (Internal Migration Around the GlobE) project to address this deficit by constructing the first …
The Impact of Internal Migration on Population Redistribution
We know that internal migration shapes human settlement patterns, but few attempts have been made to measure systematically the extent of population redistribution or make comparisons between countries. Robust comparisons are hampered by limited data access, different space‐time frameworks, and inadequate summary statistics. We use new analysis software (IMAGE Studio) to assess the effects of differences in the number and configuration of geograp…
Internal Migration Data Around the World
Compared with other demographic processes, little attention has been given to the way levels and patterns of internal migration vary around the world. This can be traced in part to the absence of any central repository of internal migration data, but it also reflects widespread variation in the ways migration is measured. If robust, reliable comparisons between countries are to be made, a clear understanding of the available data is an essential …
Internal migration age patterns and the transition to adulthood
Improved measures for the cross-national comparison of age profiles of internal migration
We develop and demonstrate the application of a concise set of measures intended to encapsulate key features of the age profile of internal migration and highlight the significant differences that exist between nations in these profiles. Model schedules have been the most common method of comparing internal migration patterns but issues related to the estimation and interpretation of their parameters hinder their use for cross-national comparison…

Collecting and Analysing Data on Climate‐related Local Mobility
It is widely recognised that environmental events may trigger permanent and seasonal migration but less attention has been given to the way they shape the everyday mobility that shapes household livelihood strategies. This dearth of attention can be traced to a lack of statistical data, the difficulties of collecting information on local space‐time trajectories and the absence of sound statistical measures by which to express them. We review prio…
Australia's Population Future
Projections of future population are essential for planning in both the public and private sectors but conventional approaches provide little guidance as to the uncertainties associated with published projections. Moreover, history suggests that forecasters are generally slow in responding to new trends in key demographic processes. These limitations come into sharp relief at times of high public interest, such as occasioned by the unprecedented …

Internal migration around the world
This paper examines how internal migration distance and its frictional effect vary between countries. Such comparisons are hampered by differences in the number and configuration of spatial units for which data are available − the modifiable area unit problem (MAUP). We use the flexible aggregation routines embedded in the IMAGE Studio, a bespoke software platform which incorporates a spatial interaction model, to elucidate these scale and patter…
Seasonal Flux in Australia's Population Geography
Seasonality is integral to many forms of temporary population mobility. To date, however, most research has focused on tourist movements and has been primarily concerned with its impacts on destinations. Less attention has been given to tracing its effects on the localities from which tourists are drawn or to understanding the spatial dynamics that underpin this periodic flux in population. The fact that tourism accounts for a minority of all tem…

Integrating Undergraduate Fieldwork into the Study of Human Mobility
Fieldwork has long been fundamental to human geography; however, increasingly unreceptive institutional environments have led to a decline in fieldwork in undergraduate human geography programs. We argue that mobility research presents an opportunity to reinvigorate the undergraduate field trip in human geography. We report on a second-year field course to Noosa, Australia, that blends new technologies with conventional survey techniques to captu…

Visualizing Australian internal and international migration flows
Migration research in Australia has tended to focus on internal migration, partly due to the paucity of international migration statistics at the regional scale, especially for emigration. In this regional graphic, internal and international migration flows for 50 major regions of Australia are presented using census data on internal migration and immigration over the one-year interval before the 2011 Census together with new estimates of regiona…

The regional pattern of Australia’s largest overseas-born populations
The first decades of the new millennium have seen a dramatic increase in the level of net overseas migration to Australia. This has been accompanied by growing diversity in the origins of migrants away from the traditional source countries in Northern and Western Europe towards Asia. One result of this trend is an increasingly complex settlement geography. This Regional Graphic paper seeks to represent Australia’s immigrant geography by mapping t…
