Abstract

Australia's pro-immigration policies have played a vital role in national population growth, serving to address what would otherwise be chronic labour shortages and population ageing. While migrants to Australian have shown a clear preference for cities and tend to locate with co-ethnics, variations by visa class-employment, family reunification, and asylum-have yet to be fully explored. This paper aims to identify variations in settlement patterns of immigrants in Australia by visa types and the factors underpinning these choices, paying particular attention to ethnic networks and employment opportunities. We apply a series of negative binomial regressions to aggregate census data linked to visa status. At the suburb level, our results show the importance of the presence of compatriots in shaping the location choices of family migrants, with the exception of skilled and humanitarian immigrants from China, Malaysia and Thailand. At the regional level, skilled migrants, including skilled regional migrants, respond to employment opportunities to a greater extent than family and humanitarian migrants.

签证类别在地区和社区尺度上对澳大利亚移民地点选择的作用。
澳大利亚的亲移民政策在全国人口增长中发挥了至关重要的作用,有助于解决长期劳动力短缺和人口老龄化问题。虽然澳大利亚的移民对城市表现出明显的偏好,并倾向于与其他民族居住在一起,但签证类别的变化——就业、家庭团聚和庇护——尚未得到充分探讨。本文旨在通过签证类型确定澳大利亚移民定居模式的变化,以及支持这些选择的因素,特别关注种族网络和就业机会。我们将一系列负二项回归应用于与签证状态相关的总体人口普查数据。在郊区层面,我们的研究结果表明,同胞的存在对家庭移民的区位选择具有重要影响,但来自中国、马来西亚和泰国的技术移民和人道主义移民除外。在区域一级,技术移徙者,包括技术区域移徙者,对就业机会的反应比家庭和人道主义移徙者更大。
