Abstract

In the context of low fertility and population ageing, many countries look to immigration to address labour shortages and reduce the effects of population decline. While the short-term effects of immigration are relatively well understood, the long-term demographic consequences of high and sustained immigration are still undetermined. In this paper, we highlight the major contributions that immigration has made to population change across 11 geographic areas in Australia from 1981 to 2021. The analyses use recently reconciled demographic component data for 18 overseas-born subgroups and the Australia-born population by age and sex. While net international migration of overseas-born people contributed approximately 56 per cent of overall population growth over the 40-year period, immigrants also made sizeable contributions to other demographic processes: 28 per cent of births, 31 per cent of deaths, and 17 per cent of interregional migration. This research provides new insights into both period-specific and long-term demographic effects of diverse immigration streams across Australia's cities and regions.

移民对澳大利亚各城市和地区人口变化的贡献。
在低生育率和人口老龄化的背景下,许多国家指望移民来解决劳动力短缺和减少人口下降的影响。虽然移民的短期影响相对较好理解,但大量和持续移民的长期人口后果仍不确定。在本文中,我们强调了移民对1981年至2021年澳大利亚11个地理区域人口变化的主要贡献。该分析使用了最近根据年龄和性别对18个海外出生的亚组和澳大利亚出生的人口进行了调整的人口组成数据。在这40年期间,海外出生人口的净国际移徙贡献了约56%的人口增长,但移民也对其他人口进程作出了相当大的贡献:28%的出生、31%的死亡和17%的区域间移徙。这项研究为澳大利亚城市和地区的不同移民流对特定时期和长期的人口影响提供了新的见解。

期刊介绍: For over half a century, Population Studies has reported significant advances in methods of demographic analysis, conceptual and mathematical theories of demographic dynamics and behaviour, and the use of these theories and methods to extend scientific knowledge and to inform policy and practice. The Journal"s coverage of this field is comprehensive: applications in developed and developing countries; historical and contemporary studies; quantitative and qualitative studies; analytical essays and reviews. The subjects of papers range from classical concerns, such as the determinants and consequences of population change, to such topics as family demography and evolutionary and genetic influences on demographic behaviour.
