title: Regional differences in immigration and economic structure in Australia.
abstract: "The scale of overseas immigration and the exceptional importance of the role played by migrants in demographic, economic and cultural trends in Australia makes the immigration policy one of the key components of Australian politics.  Both the immigration policy and the outcomes of this policy are shaped by four major groups of factors:  demographic, economic, cultural, and political in a broad sense.  The weighting of these factors changes from period to period.  This paper looks at the extent to which some of these factors affect regional differentiation of the immigration pattern.  The analysis is focused on the influences of employment structure and other socio-economic characteristics of different Australian regions, exerted on overseas migration to these regions."
