Population Mobility and Indigenous Peoples in Australasia and North America
Topical Issue 5 / 2004
March 2004 - Population Mobility and Indigenous Peoples in Australasia and North America
An important new book just published by Routledge, edited by John Taylor (Senior Fellow, CAEPR) and Martin Bell (University of Queensland), with contributions covering Canada, the United States, New Zealand, and Australia.
This collection draws together relevant research findings to produce the first comprehensive overview of Indigenous peoples' mobility. Chapters draw from a range of disciplinary sources, and from a diversity of regions and nation states.
The relative mobility status of Indigenous Australians: Setting the research agenda
Discussion Paper 77 / 1994
Abstract:
A project under way at the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research aims to establish, for the first time, comparative national parameters of Indigenous population mobility with particular reference to four distinct mobility perspectives, namely: the overall propensities to migrate, the net effect of migration on spatial redistribution, patterns of migration flow and resulting spatial networks, and the spatio-temporal sequence of individual movements over the life course.
The mobility status of Indigenous Australians
Discussion Paper 78 / 1994
Abstract:
This paper provides, for the first time, comparative national parameters of Indigenous population mobility. Using a customised 54 region internal migration matrix from the 1991 Census, preliminary findings are presented in regard to three broad perspectives on mobility. First, an analysis is provided of the relative propensity for Indigenous people to migrate.
Estimating intercensal Indigenous employment change, 1991-96
Discussion Paper 155 / 1998
Abstract:
The 1996 Census count of Indigenous Australians included a substantial number of individuals who were not recorded as Indigenous by the previous census. This paper considers the implications of this for interpreting change in employment numbers and provides a methodology for reconciling census data.
Changing places: Indigenous population movement in the 1990s
Discussion Paper 189 / 1999
Abstract:
This paper presents selected measures of Indigenous population mobility using 1996 Census data and compares these with equivalent measures for the non-Indigenous population. There are two parts to the exercise. The first comprises an examination of relative propensities to move according to the age and sex distribution of movers, their labour force status and income distribution. The second is an analysis of the contribution of mobility to spatial redistribution of the Indigenous population.
The Indigenous population of Cape York Peninsula, 2001-2016
Discussion Paper 227 / 2002
Abstract:
Recent projections made by the Australian Bureau Statistics (ABS) of Indigenous populations resident in various regions of north Australia included a set of estimates for Cape York Peninsula. These were found to be substantially at odds with the results for adjacent regions such as the West Arnhem and Gulf regions of the Northern Territory. The Cape York projections produced population growth rates that were substantially lower than those recorded for other regions, with projected numbers in certain age groups actually declining over the forecast period to 2016.
Options for benchmarking ABS population estimates for Indigenous communities in Queensland
Discussion Paper 243 / 2003
Abstract:
Concerns have been expressed for some time by Indigenous community leaders, analysts, government agencies, and local service providers about the accuracy of census counts for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Queensland. Recent reclassification of these communities as Local Government Areas has heightened these concerns in the context of financial distributions and the related need for the ABS to develop small area population estimates.
