Net Migration
• Net migration is the difference between the number of permanent departures from Australia (emigration) and the number of people arriving to live in Australia on a permanent basis (immigration)
• permanent arrivals (immigration) – permanent departures (emigration) = net migration
![Page 12: Australia’s Regional & Global Links Migration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812dfd550346895d935dd4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Immigration• Australian society has been shaped by a long
history of immigration. Since 1945 around 6.5 million people have arrived as new settlers and in 2006, nearly one in four (24%) Australian
residents were born overseas.

• The cartoonists main ideas are that immigration has created jobs.
• Businesses in Australia have a larger amount of people to sell to.
• There is a larger marketplace which has created Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. GDP means the total combined value of all the goods and services produced in the economy at a given time.
• Therefore immigration has largely contributed to economic growth
![Page 18: Australia’s Regional & Global Links Migration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812dfd550346895d935dd4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Illegal Migrants• Illegal migrants under Australian law are
those who:– enter Australia without authority; or – overstay visas, work without
appropriate approval or have their visas cancelled.
• There are estimated to be about 50,000 visa over stayers in Australia. The majority? British Nationals.
![Page 25: Australia’s Regional & Global Links Migration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812dfd550346895d935dd4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Types of migration flows to Australia • Skilled Stream:
– Highly skilled migrants who could potentially contribute to the economy.
– Migrants must pass a skills test. ie, English speaking ability, work experience,etc.
– This is usually a voluntary form of emigration.
– Since the late 1990s, the Skill Stream has been the largest and fastest growing Migration Program stream, an increase in the proportion of total permanent additions in this category from 23% in 1996–97 to 51% in 2005–06.
![Page 26: Australia’s Regional & Global Links Migration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812dfd550346895d935dd4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Family Stream:– Migrants selected due to their families ties in Australia.
– Migrants must be a close family member of someone already living in Australia.
– There is no skills or language test for these migrants.
– As a proportion of total permanent additions, the Family Stream has decreased from 45% (47,300) in 1996–97 to 26% (45,900) in 2005–06.
![Page 27: Australia’s Regional & Global Links Migration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812dfd550346895d935dd4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Humanitarian migration:– The Humanitarian Program is the smallest of
Australia's immigration categories – This is designed to provide sanctuary for
refugees.– This is normally a forced form of migration.– Examples of factors for people leaving their
countries include war, disease and famine.– In 2005–06, there were around 17,000
permanent additions through the Humanitarian Program, representing 9% of all permanent additions in that year.
![Page 28: Australia’s Regional & Global Links Migration](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812dfd550346895d935dd4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Trans-Tasman migration:– This is a unique agreement with New
Zealand.
– It means New Zealanders can enter, live and work in Australia without a visa.
– There were 15 663 migrant settlers from NZ in 2001-02.
