The demographic consequences of migration to, from and within Australia

将研究移民到澳大利亚、从澳大利亚和在澳大利亚境内移民的长期人口后果，以及产生这些后果的动态途径。这将涉及确定1981年至2011年期间国际和国内移徙对9个特定出生地人口的年龄和性别构成的具体贡献。为此，将收集现有的数据，并采用统计方法加以扩充，以便对约60个国家以下地区的人口变化情况提供完整、一致的说明。由于移民和人口变化支撑着澳大利亚社会变革的许多方面，这项研究旨在为其他科学家和政策制定者提供宝贵的资源。

The long-term demographic consequences of migration to, from and within Australia, and the dynamic pathways that produced them, will be studied. This will involve the identification of the specific contributions made by international and internal migration to the age and sex population compositions of nine birthplace-specific populations from 1981 to 2011. To do this, publically available data will be collected and augmented with statistical methods to provide a complete, consistent account of population change for around 60 subnational areas. As migration and population change underpins many aspects of societal change in Australia, this research aims to provide an invaluable resource to other scientists and policy makers.
