title: Knocking at the door:  Asian immigration to Australia.
abstract: "This paper assesses the level and composition of contemporary Asian immigration to Australia and explores its processes and impacts.  The final reversal of the White Australia Policy in the 1970s opened the door to substantial increases in Asian immigration, particularly from Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, China, India and Hong Kong."  Aspects considered include migrant categories, age, sex, and social and economic adaptation to Australia.
