内容説明

Does immigration keep Australia's population young? Do immigrants add to unemployment? Are "ethnic enclaves" emerging? Immigration and its consequences have always been topics of public debate in Australia and in recent times the debate has intensified. Strong views are held on the advantages and disadvantages of immigration, and on the desirable size and composition of the immigrant intake. Too often, howver, the debate is characterized by selective and unsubstantiated assertions. "Immigration and Australia" sets the record straight with a careful analysis of the most recent research. The authors look at the characteristics and numbers of immigrants who have arrived in Australia in recent years, where they have settled and their impact on the workforce. They discuss the impact of immigration on Australia's population and outline the advantages and disadvantages of population growth through immigration. They include a thorough examination of research-based knowledge on economic, environmental and social impacts. "Immigration and Australia" is the most up-to-date source of information on immigration issues, and a comprehensive resource for students, researchers and policy-makers.
