title: Population change between 1986 and 1996 in Australia: population numbers, components of change and age profiles.
abstract: "This paper represents a preliminary analysis of the release of 1996 Census-based ERP [estimates of resident population] by examining regional population shifts and components of population change in Australia between 1986 and 1996.... With particular reference to Queensland, this paper also examines changes in the age profiles of regional populations over the decade to June 1996. Changes in the population structure of Queensland's growth regions are compared with those of regions experiencing population decline."
