title: [The demographic and social characteristics of the Italian community in Australia and of the second generation].
abstract: This paper is an analysis of "the demographic and socio-professional characteristics of the Italian community settled in Australia after World War II and its spatial distribution."  The authors note that the first generation of migrants, no longer replenished with new arrivals since the 1960s, is aging rapidly, is concentrated in urban areas, and is no longer engaged in independent work in rural areas.  An analysis of second-generation Italian immigrants is also presented, with reference to questions of assimilation and intermarriage.  Data are primarily from a survey undertaken in 1982.
