Care arrangements of older persons in rural Indonesia
This study explores the provision of care for older persons in rural areas of ageing Indonesia. Using data from Ageing in Rural Indonesian Study, we examine who needs care, who provides care, and how care operates across socio-demographic settings. We found that one contributing factor to gender inequality in old age is the disproportionate amount of unpaid care that older women provide to their families. Older women are often both care recipient…
Beyond later and less marriage in Asia
In this paper, we pay tribute to the late Emeritus Professor Gavin W. Jones and his outstanding contributions to the scholarship on marriage. Following a chronological assessment of his large body of work on marriage, we reflect on Gavin’s general approach to research changing marriage patterns within and across diverse regions of Asia. His approach to studying marriage went beyond the conventional demographic focus on examining shifts in age at …
What Level of Migration Is Required to Achieve Zero Population Growth in the Shortest Possible Time? Asian Examples
Sustained below replacement fertility leads to declining population size. Several countries in Asia have experienced below replacement fertility for many years. The paper applies a novel approach to examining the viability of using immigration to achieve zero population growth in six Asian countries: China, Japan, Republic of Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Australia. The novel approach is to estimate the level of immigration that would be require…

The ageing of Asian migrant populations in Australia
Until the 1970s the Asia-born population of Australia remained small due to the racist White Australia Policy which denied entry to non-Europeans. Following its abolition in the early 1970s, Asian immigration progressively intensified, and in 2016 the Asia-born population of the country reached a total of 2.7 million, though the older population aged 65+ remained relatively small. This paper presents new projections of Australia's older Asia-born…
Intergenerational inequality and the intergenerational state
Internal migration, group size, and ethnic endogamy in Indonesia
Much of the literature on assortative mating has centred on the social contexts of immigrant-receiving countries in the West. This article examines ethnic assortative mating (endogamy) against rising volumes and intensity of migration within a multi-ethnic lower middle-income country. We used full enumeration data from the 2010 Indonesian Population Census to create a national dataset of husband-wife pairs (n= 47.8 million couples), and five subs…

English proficiency in Australia, 1981 to 2016
Using Australian census data, the paper examines the incidence of poor English competency in Australia from 1981 onwards. The paper examines English competency in relation to various characteristics such as sex, age, language spoken, visa type, citizenship, duration of residence and location. It finds that there was a sharp rise in the numbers of people not speaking English well between the 2011 and 2016 Censuses and special attention is given to…

Demographic Change in the Asian Century
Declining fertility and mortality rates in the second half of the twentieth century have led to the twenty‐first century being characterised as the century of the aging population. Concurrently, the decline in the numbers of young people entering the labour force is exacerbating the problems arising from the aging population. Implications of these trends are analysed for a variety of Asian countries. Labour force growth in India and Pakistan will…
Who marries whom
EYWORDS This paper examines regional, ethnic-specific patterns and Assortative mating; ethnicity; individual-level correlates in same ethnic marriages (endogamy) Indonesia; ethnic and ethnic intermarriages in Indonesia. With data from over 47 intermarriage; development; million couples in prevailing marriages from the full enumeration social change; marriage of the 2010 Census, we outline the provincial variations in endogamy against development …
Transition into marriage in Greater Jakarta
This article addresses the question of whether a shift to a self-chosen marriage partner means that traditional cultural norms stressing family influence on spouse selection have been weakened by inroads of modern norms of greater individual autonomy in the marriage process. Using a representative sample of 1552 married young adults (aged 20–34) in Greater Jakarta, we explore the courtship processes and the degree of parental role involved in spo…
Australia's Immigration Revolution
How well is Australia handling immigration at a time of increased international and ethnic tensions? Australia's Immigration Revolution examines the social impact of the huge increase in Australia's immigration program over the past decade. In 2006 Australia's population was 20.7 million. It is projected to reach 23 million in 2014. What is driving this rapid population growth, and how is the Rudd government dealing with immigration at a time of …
Migration and Transition to Adulthood
This paper examines the relative education and employment outcomes among young migrants and non-migrants in Greater Jakarta in 2009/2011. Using data from the 2010 Greater Jakarta Transition to Adulthood Survey that includes 3006 respondents aged 20 to 34 years old, the paper highlights the importance of the age at migration in influencing the patterns of schooling and employment among young people. Patterns of schooling and employment are investi…
Skilled migration from Europe to Australia
Britain and many other European countries have been important sources of settler migration to Australia for more than two hundred years. While the sources of settler migration to Australia have diversified in the last thirty years to include non‐European countries, with the current emphasis on skills in Australia's migration policy, many skilled people from Europe are coming to Australia both as settlers and as temporary migrants. This paper exam…

An algorithm for tailoring pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation
An algorithm and guide were developed to assist clinicians in prescribing pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation. There appears to be good justification for "off-label" use such as higher doses of NRT or combination therapy in certain circumstances. This practical tool reflects best evidence to date of experts in tobacco cessation

Cost-effectiveness of pharmacotherapies for nicotine dependence in primary care settings
The cost-effectiveness of the pharmacotherapies varied significantly across the six study countries, however, in each case, the results would be considered favourable as compared to other common preventive pharmacotherapies
Fertility Decline in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Confounding all conventional wisdom, the fertility rate in the Islamic Republic of Iran fell from around 7.0 births per woman in the early 1980s to 2.1 births per woman in 2000. That this, the largest and fastest fall in fertility ever recorded, should have occurred in one of the world's few Islamic Republics demands explanation. The paper addresses this issue in three parts. The second part is its core: a description of fertility levels, trends …

The Iranian Fertility Decline, 1981-1999
Iran has experienced one of the most rapid falls in fertility ever recorded. The observed pattern is one in which fertility has fallen simultaneously in all age groups, in all geographic settings and in all social groups, hence accounting for the rapidity of the decline at the national level. Available single calendar year time trends in the age-based total fertility rate and in age specific fertility rates elicit an interpretation of the fertili…
Sustaining Fertility through Public Policy
This paper describes the range of policies that might be used to support fertility rates at a moderate level, that is, around an average of 1.7-1.9 births per woman. The paper argues that in selecting from the range of policy options, consideration must be given to the existing social-institutional framework in the particular country. In other words, there can be no single cross-national model for success. Each country must seek its own instituti…

Net transition probabilities
The authors set out to make medium‐term projections of housing demand for subnational regions of Australia. Projections of the numbers of households by household type and age of a household reference person were required. The only possible source of input data at a subnational level was the quinquennial censuses. An innovative approach was developed specifically for the purpose of these projections. This involved the use of ‘net transition probab…
Family Studies in Australiaxbitm
As in most countries, the study of families in Australia runs the gamut from theoretical analyses to applied and evaluative research. Lacking the strong influence of home economics that is prevalent in American agricultural universities and the strong private philanthropy which funds much of family research in other societies, Australian family research has had strong links with governmental social policies and programs. This paper reviews the de…
Recent trends in mortality in Australia
Before World War II, mortality in Australia had decreased progressively since 1860, the first year for which statistics are available. The present study shows that this decline in mortality, although interrupted by the war, continued again during the 1950s but appears to have halted around 1960. In some age groups, death rates have even increased during the 1960s. The alteration in the trend of mortality has occurred mainly in the middle age grou…
