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

This project investigates the socio-economic disparities in entering parenthood, particularly focusing on education and employment differentials as well as socio-demographic factors such as ethnic and religious background, and experience of family dissolution.

The timing and context of Australians' entry into parenthood differs across the socio-economic spectrum. This project investigates the socio-economic disparities in entering parenthood, particularly focusing on education and employment differentials as well as socio-demographic factors such as ethnic and religious background, and experience of family dissolution. Using longitudinal panel data, this project aims to: determine the socio-economic and demographic differentials of inequality in first family formation in Australia; discover how inequality in first family formation has changed since the middle of the 20th Century; and, assess how family-policy regime mediates or exacerbates this inequality.Read moreRead less
