    Data Compendium Demographics Chief Public Health Officer’s Report 2016-2018 DEMOGRAPHICS Population Indicator: estimated resident population (ERP) Measure: Annual percentage change in estimated resident population in South Australia. Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated the resident population of South Australia to be 1,712,843 people in June 2016, representing about 7.1% of the total Australian population (24.2 million people).[2] Over three quarters of South Australia’s population reside in the greater Adelaide region. Between the years 2011 to 2016, the population in South Australia increased by 4.5% (73,229 people). The annual population growth rate from 2011 to 2016 for South Australia ranged from the lowest 0.60% in 2016 to the highest 0.93% in 2014. South Australia had the third slowest growth across all States and Territories in 2016 (ahead of Tasmania and Northern Territory).[3] Table 1: Estimated resident population, South Australia, 2006-2017 Year 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Greater Adelaide 1189243 1204210 1219523 1237354 1253097 1264091 Rest of SA 363286 366409 369142 371548 374225 375523 South Australia 1552529 1570619 1588665 1608902 1627322 1639614 Year 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Greater Adelaide 1277850 1289696 1302079 1313419 1324057 1334167 Rest of SA 378875 381792 384866 387249 388786 389504 South Australia 1656725 1671488 1686945 1700668 1712843 1723671 Population are at the end of June of each year, and 2017 population is subject to revision according to ABS.

  • The India-Australia Relationship, 1858-1901
    Introduction: India, Australia and Empire This thesis studies the ways in which the colonial governments of India and Australia were connected between 1857 and 1901. The thesis examines the ways in which the governments communicated, the functioning of the power relationship between them, and the ways in which they cooperated with and aided one another. Numerous examples of disagreements and tension are discussed. Throughout, I examine the perceptions that underpinned the relationship between the two colonial governments, which were reflected in language, symbolism and culture. By performing an analysis of discourse, a far deeper understanding of the relationship can be achieved than by solely examining events or results. This study is the first to examine the relationship between India and Australia in this way. Considering these questions enables us to test the extent and nature of India‟s power in the British empire and to understand both Australia‟s position within the empire and the relationship between the two colonies. As there was a vast traffic of communication and goods travelling between Britain, India and Australia, I will focus solely on interactions between governments and government departments. There are many examples of familial and financial connections between India and Australia, but they are too numerous to cover in any appropriate amount of detail.1 Analysis of governmental sources from India and the Australian colonies enables examination of the specific power relationship between India and the Australian colonies in a way that has not yet been done. Re-Centring Empire The perspective of this thesis borrows from some recent works on India‟s role in the British empire.

  • Past and Projected Growth of Australia's Older Migrant Populations

Genus (2020) 76:20 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41118-020-00091-6 Genus ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Past and projected growth of Australia’s older migrant populations Tom Wilson1 , Peter McDonald1 , Jeromey Temple1* , Bianca Brijnath2 and Ariane Utomo3 * Correspondence: jeromey. [email protected] Abstract 1 Demography and Ageing Unit, ’ Melbourne School of Population In recent years, Australia s older population (aged 65 and over) has been growing and Global Health, University of rapidly, accompanied by a shift in its country of birth composition. Although a great Melbourne, 207 Bouverie St, deal of research has been undertaken on past and current aspects of Australia’s Melbourne, Victoria 3010, Australia Full list of author information is migrant groups, little attention has been paid to future demographic trends in older available at the end of the article populations. The aim of this paper is to examine recent and possible future demographic trends of Australia’s migrant populations at the older ages. We present population estimates by country and broad global region of birth from 1996 to 2016, and then new birthplace-specific population projections for the 2016 to 2056 period. Our findings show that substantial growth of the 65+ population will occur in the coming decades, and that the overseas-born will shift from a Europe-born dominance to an Asia-born dominance. Cohort flow (the effect of varying sizes of cohorts moving into the 65+ age group over time) will be the main driver of growth for most older birthplace populations. The shifting demography of Australia’s older population signals many policy, planning, service delivery and funding challenges for government and private sector providers.

  • Transnationalism: Two Cohorts of Croatian Immigrants in Australia
    TRANSNACIONALIZAM I IDENTITET UDK: 323.1(941=163.42) Izvorni znanstveni rad Primljeno: 18. 08. 2006. Prihvaćeno: 22. 09. 2006. VAL COLIC-PEISKER Murdoch University, Perth, Western Australia “Ethnic” and “Cosmopolitan” Transnationalism: Two Cohorts of Croatian Immigrants in Australia SUMMARY This paper presents a case study of migrant transnationalism on the basis of ethnographic data collected among Croatians migrants in Western Australia. So far transnationalism has been theorized as the sustained connection of migrants to their homelands, while this paper introduces a distinction between “ethnic” and “cosmopolitan” transnationalism. The sample of respondents comes from two distinct immigrant cohorts, one consisting of earlier arrivals (1950s–1970s) and the other comprising more recent arrivals (1980s–1990s). Due to social changes in the sending country as well as immi- gration policy changes in the receiving country, these two cohorts are significantly different in terms of their socio-economic background. This determines their identity, belonging and type of incorpora- tion in the Australian society, and also brings about different types of transnationalism that these two groups practise. While respondents from the working-class cohort tend to see their ethnic identity as central and describe themselves as part of the Croatian diaspora, those from the more recent middle- class cohort see their profession as the central axis of their identity. The transnationalism of the older cohort is conceptualized as “ethnic transnationalism” which bridges the distance between Australia and the “lost” but nonetheless real homeland, Croatia. The transnationalism of the professional cohort is theorized as “cosmopolitan transnationalism” which is lived and felt beyond the homeland-hostland connection, in the space of cultural hybridity and global mobility.
