Abstract:

"This volume represents the Australian Population Association's contribution to the celebrations surrounding the two-hundredth anniversary of European settlement in Australia. The volume was conceived as a compendium of the best and most significant pieces of writing on Australian population history." The organization of the material is chronological and presents a demographic history of Australia, covering such topics as aboriginal population, colonization, immigration, vital statistics for several time periods, economic development, demographic factors, and population characteristics. Also included are articles on population growth, the carrying capacity of Australia, family demography, postwar Australia, migration policy, and future trends. (EXCERPT)
