Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of Tables -- List of Figures -- Introduction -- 1. China's Policy Towards Migrants, 1842-1949 -- 2. Japanese Emigration Policy, 1880-1941 -- 3. The "New" Migration and Australian Immigration Policy -- 4. Patterns of Settlement in Australia of Indochinese Refugees -- 5. Labour Market Outcomes Among the Chinese at the 1986 Census -- 6. Is There An Asian-Australian "Brain Drain"? -- 7. The "New" Migration of Asian Skills and Capital to Australia
Summary: The "Asian migration" controversy of the 1980s in Australia was reminiscent of that a century earlier. However, as this first major study of the "new" Asian migration of the 1980s illustrates, the circumstances and characteristics have been vastly different. The study places Asian immigration in a broader international context in which the emigration to Australia is part of a wider pattern of population movements with diplomatic ramifications and economic implications for both Australia and the emigrants' homeland. This study provides key Australian comparative data to set against the extensive Asian emigration in the 1980s to USA, Canada and New Zealand
