Where migrants go: A study of immigrants' post-arrival moves in Australia . The project aims to establish the geographical and occupational trajectories of different migrant groups after arrival in Australia. Migration within Australia is a key driver of economic, demographic and social change. Recognising the growing diversity of immigrants, including the rapid rise in temporary migration, the project examines post-arrival moves of immigrants by visa type, country of birth and year of arrival. ....Where migrants go: A study of immigrants' post-arrival moves in Australia . The project aims to establish the geographical and occupational trajectories of different migrant groups after arrival in Australia. Migration within Australia is a key driver of economic, demographic and social change. Recognising the growing diversity of immigrants, including the rapid rise in temporary migration, the project examines post-arrival moves of immigrants by visa type, country of birth and year of arrival. It seeks to improve understanding of the incidence, spatial patterns and drivers of migrants’ movement within Australia and the socio-demographic impact on regions and individuals. Such understanding is an essential first step to the formulation of effective immigration and settlement policies and programs.Read moreRead less

Summary
Understanding the Long-Term Decline in Internal Migration. The project seeks to provide insights into the changing nature of internal migration. Internal migration rates have declined continuously since the 1970s in most advanced economies. This decline in human mobility may affect the functioning of the economy and individuals’ aspirations, but remains poorly recognised and understood. This project aims to establish the onset and pace of the migration decline for a sample of countries. It also ....Understanding the Long-Term Decline in Internal Migration. The project seeks to provide insights into the changing nature of internal migration. Internal migration rates have declined continuously since the 1970s in most advanced economies. This decline in human mobility may affect the functioning of the economy and individuals’ aspirations, but remains poorly recognised and understood. This project aims to establish the onset and pace of the migration decline for a sample of countries. It also aims to identify the causes of this change by identifying linkages between the drop in migration rates and the broader socio-demographic transitions of the past 30 years in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Understanding this issue may support the development of appropriate economic and social policy responses.Read moreRead less
Humanitarian migrants' settlement in Australia: A longitudinal study. Current evidence suggests that humanitarian migrants settle less successfully than other immigrants both economically and socially. This project aims to examine the causal mechanisms and pathways to economic, sociocultural and political settlement outcomes of humanitarian migrants to Australia.

Current evidence suggests that humanitarian migrants settle less successfully than other immigrants both economically and socially. This project aims to examine the causal mechanisms and pathways to economic, sociocultural and political settlement outcomes of humanitarian migrants to Australia. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of humanitarian migrants’ settlement by using nationally representative data and cutting-edge longitudinal techniques.Expected outcomes include enhanced research capacity in causal methods, interdisciplinary and institutional collaborations, and evidence-based social policy for humanitarian migrants, significantly benefitting humanitarian migrants directly and society more broadly.
