The Changing Migrant Composition of Australia's Population (eBook, PDF)

Past, Present and Future

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book looks at how Australia's migrant population composition is likely to change over coming decades. The book divides Australia's population into 48 countries of birth groupings and projects the birthplace populations out to 2066 according to the range of scenarios. These projections indicate a massive shift in Australia's migrant composition from a European to an Asian-dominated population over the coming decades-a change which can be interpreted as a third demographic transition. By providing detailed consideration of the implications of the changing population composition, this book is a great resource for academics, government and private sector services.

Autorenporträt

Tom Wilson is a part-time Principal Research Fellow in spatial demography in the Demography and Ageing Unit, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne, Australia. He is an applied demographer specialising in population and household projections, migration analysis, the indirect estimation of demographic data, Indigenous demography, very elderly demographic trends, migration analysis, subnational demographic change, and LGBTIQ demography. In addition to academic research, Tom regularly consults with federal, state and local government and has created population and household projection software for several state and territory government departments.

Jeromey Temple is Associate Professor of Demography at CEPAR, and head of the Demography and Ageing Unit at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He is one of Australia's few economic demographers and leads the Australian National Transfer Accounts (NTA) project, which seeks to improve understanding of the generational economy through documenting the economic lifecycle in a manner consistent with the system of National Accounts. Jeromey also works on a range of other research projects, mainly at the intersection of demography, economics and public policy - and their relationship to ageing at both the individual and population level.

Peter McDonald is a Chief Investigator of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research. He is Professor of Demography (Honorary) at the University of Melbourne and Professor of Demography (Emeritus) at the Australian National University. He has advised successive Australian governments on population policy. He is frequently consulted on the issue of population futures (causes, consequences and policies) by governments around the world, especially in Australia, Europe and East Asia. His theoretical and policy-oriented research on low fertility (the gender equity theory of fertility) is widely cited and has informed government policy making in several countries.

Ariane Utomo is a social demographer, working primarily on marriage and family change in Indonesia, and on ageing and migration in Australia. Ariane is currently Lecturer in Demography at the School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences of the University of Melbourne, Australia. Prior to joining the University of Melbourne, Ariane was a Research Fellow at the Australian Demographic and Social Research Institute, and the Crawford School of Public Policy, The Australian National University.

Professor Bianca Brijnath is the Divisional Director of Social Gerontology at the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI). Her disciplinary training is in medical anthropology and public health and her research expertise is in cultural diversity and aged care. Within these disciplinary and contextual boundaries, she has undertaken several studies exploring dementia, cultural diversity, and aged care. She has authored over 100 publications and is the lead investigator for the Moving Pictures study in Australia and in India.
