Funded Activity Summary

Understanding the structure of internal migration in Australia. This project will analyse patterns and processes of interregional migration in Australia from 1976-2001 and forecast their future trajectory. It will use a unique database to focus on the spatial structure and demographic dimensions of migration, evaluate a new source of migration statistics, develop and test a suite of migration indicators, examine how cohort size and age composition influence migration, and develop new methods of setting internal migration scenarios in sub-national population forecasts. The results will aid understanding of migration dynamics in Australia and internationally, and significantly enhance the knowledge base for spatial planning and policy formulation.
