Abstract

Most refugee migrants entering Australia have limited financial resources. In Australia, low-income migrants from non-English speaking backgrounds-also referred to as Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CaLD) migrants-feature as one of the groups suffering from the current Australian housing crisis, experiencing difficulty in navigating the housing market and achieving sustainable housing outcomes. This article analyses the case study of the South Sudanese migrants and profiles this group, analysing factors that contribute to improving their financial independence (education, employment and income) and housing outcomes, with the aim to evaluate their overall economic position in relation to accessing the housing market. Data shows that after an average of ten years beginning from their initial arrival in Australia, this migrant group is still struggling to improve their financial position. The article concludes by questioning the current approaches to the resettlement process concerning the attainment of suitable housing outcomes.

通往新家的缓慢之路:第一代南苏丹西澳大利亚人在珀斯定居的经历

大多数进入澳大利亚的难民移民的财政资源有限。在澳大利亚，来自非英语背景的低收入移民，也被称为文化和语言多样性移民（CaLD），是当前澳大利亚住房危机的受害者之一，在驾驭住房市场和实现可持续住房成果方面遇到了困难。本文分析了南苏丹移民的案例研究，并介绍了这一群体，分析了有助于提高他们经济独立性（教育、就业和收入）和住房成果的因素，目的是评估他们在进入住房市场方面的总体经济地位。数据显示，从他们最初抵达澳大利亚开始，平均十年后，这个移民群体仍在努力改善他们的财务状况。文章最后对目前有关实现适当住房结果的重新安置过程的方法提出了质疑。

期刊介绍： The Australasian Review of African Studies aims to contribute to a better understanding of Africa in Australasia and the Pacific. It is published twice a year in June and December by The African Studies Association of Australasia and the Pacific. ARAS is a multi-disciplinary journal that seeks to provide critical, authoritative and accessible material on a range of African affairs that is interesting and readable to as broad an audience as possible, both academic and non-academic. All articles are blind peer reviewed by two independent and qualified experts in their entirety prior to publication. Each issue includes both scholarly and generalist articles, a book review section (which normally includes a lengthy review essay), short notes on contemporary African issues and events (up to 2,000 words), as well as reports on research and professional involvement in Africa, and on African university activities. What makes the Review distinctive as a professional journal is this ‘mix’ of authoritative scholarly and generalist material on critical African issues written from very different disciplinary and professional perspectives. The Review is available to all members of the African Studies Association of Australia and the Pacific as part of their membership. Membership is open to anyone interested in African affairs, and the annual subscription fee is modest. The ARAS readership intersects academic, professional, voluntary agency and public audiences and includes specialists, non-specialists and members of the growing African community in Australia. There is also now a small but growing international readership which extends to Africa, North America and the United Kingdom.
