title: Migration from India to Australia.
abstract: "The article examines the contemporary trends and future prospects of migration from India to Australia.  The focus is on Indian Settlers and Temporary Entrants admitted to Australia for employment and Indian students admitted to Australia for higher studies.  The volume of emigration for permanent residence during the early 1990s has made India one of the leading source countries of migration to Australia. A majority of Indians admitted as Settlers every year join the labor force.  Recent data indicate that, among Indian Settlers, there is a preponderance of unsponsored Independent Skilled Migrants.  Given the anticipated growth in the number of Indian students, the coming years are likely to witness a spurt in Skilled Temporary Workers from India."
