The Asianisation of Australia?: Some Facts About the Myths

The Asianisation of Australia? contributes the dispassionate, independent and objective comment that has been missing from media debate on the effects of Australia's immigration policies. It provides a wealth of data on the make-up of Australia’s immigrant intake and the ability of immigrants to establish a place in their new country.

Recent political rhetoric and forecasts are exposed for the myths, prejudices and over-simplifications that they are. By comparing such indicators as rates of employment, income, childbirth, intermarriage and fluency in English between Asian and other immigrants, Professors Jayasuriya and Kee convincingly demonstrate the valuable contribution made by Asian immigrants to the culture and economy of Australia.
