A major post WWII strategy used was guaranteeing the international immigration population employment, housing and in some cases, education which influenced them to come to Australia. For a fraction of this population, “the Commonwealth Government paid most of their
History assignment How have Australian government policies and practices affected patterns of migration and changed Australia since World War Two? Changing government policies and practices have affected pattern of migration to Australia and changed Australia significantly since World War Two. Policies such as ‘populate or perish’ and the ending of the ‘White Australia Policy’ changed Australia from a largely British society to a multicultural one.
1. When and where in Australia did Somalis migrate to? Somalia is located in the eastern side of Africa. Majority of the 6 million (1991 population) individuals in the Somali community migrated to Australia, Victoria in early 1991. They specifically chose to migrate to Victoria due to its reputation for embracing multiculturalism.
In 1901 the six British colonies of Australia came together to form the Commonwealth of Australia. This federation was the result of intercolonial discussion, referendums and political debate with a range of different issues . However given the country’s history surrounding Asia and Pacific workers and the conflicts due to their presence, it was agreed that the new nation of Australia would be ‘white’ only. Despite Indigenous Australians and Chinese who were already in residence, colonialists aspired to keep the heritage and culture of Australia British and as a result there would be no home for non-European in Australia . After Australia was federated on January 1st 1901 the government passed the Immigration Restriction Bill which became known
Further disconnection occurred because the children were automatically made ‘wards of the state’ (Hegarty 1999: 20). However, the impact of the regulations; to their freedom, way of life, and structure of the family unit as Indigenous Queenslanders; became evident after they had entered the reserve (Hegarty 1999: 12; Donovan 2008:
Most of the Australian perspectives on migration, war, sexual morality, the roles of women and environment all were going through radical changes which were changing Australia’s society. In 1974 the white Australian policy was taken (scrapped). Women also won the right to have equal pay. From 1901the white Australian policy had stopped non-white people from coming and migrating in to Australia, after so long this policy was then abolished in 1974, from then thousands and thousands of people from Asia and the Middle East were mostly admitted to come in to Australia during the late 1970s.
Migration has been an important influence on Australian society and the economy. Between 1947 and 1982, over a million Britons immigrated to Australia, the majority of whom travelled under the ten pound assisted passage scheme funded by the British and Australian governments. This large intake of British migrants was encouraged as part of Australia's 'populate or perish' nation-building initiative, which emerged in the aftermath of World War II. The Ten Pound Poms, as they became known 82% were English were mostly from an urban background.
The forced removal of children from their families, known as the Stolen Generations, has had a particularly devastating impact on the Indigenous community, leading to intergenerational trauma and loss of identity. In addition, the policies of assimilation, which were in place until the 1970s, aimed to force Indigenous Australians to abandon their cultural practices and adopt Western ways of life. This has resulted in a loss of traditional knowledge and practices, which has impacted the community's ability to maintain good health and
This was one of the first acts to be passed by the new parliament and was extremely explicit. The overall aim of this and other related legislation was to limit non-white immigration to Australia, particularly Asian immigration, and thereby preserve the predominance of the British within Australia. The abolition of the policy took place over a period of 25 years. In 1956 residents of Australia who were not of European background were allowed to apply for citizenship, and Japanese war brides were permitted settlement in Australia. During 1940’s and 1950’s, the Australian population was predominantly made of British and other European ethnic communities.
In the post-war period, more than 15,000 people of mixed descent were allowed into Australia on ‘compassionate grounds, and close family relations’. Action was taken by the Australian Government against this, but the bills that had been drawn up to deport war refugees such as Ms O’Keefe were not implemented as the government had been voted out and replaced by Robert Menzies and his Liberal
Adopting a child from Australia or overseas is a long process which can take many years to complete. Many people believe the adoption laws in Australia are too harsh or unfair, but the Australian Government is just trying to make sure that the people wishing to adopt children are suitable enough for the job. To adopt a child in Queensland, you must make sure that you meet all the adoption eligibility criteria set out by the Queensland Government. Different states and territories have different laws regarding adoption compared to Queensland, and you will have to make sure you meet the eligibility criteria of that state/territory. Adopting a child from overseas is a very different process, with a lot more formalities and overseas countries only accepting applications from certain people.
There are currently 800 children being held in mandatory closed immigration detention, as Australia is the only country in the world which detains asylum-seeking children as a first option (Triggs, 2014). Australia’s system of mandatory immigration detention was introduced to the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) in 1992, and requires all non-citizen children who arrive without a valid visa to be detained (Triggs, 2014). Although the introduction of these requirements into the Migration Act were enforced to ensure the effective control and management of Australia’s borders (Phillips & Spinks, 2013), the mandatory and prolonged immigration detention of children is in clear violation of Article 3(1), Article 24(1) and Article 37(b) of the Convention

Not only did immigration affect the United States, but it also affects the immigrating family. In 1964 Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, prohibiting the discrimination on gender, ethnicity, and creed. Because this act was passed as part of the Civil Rights Movement, it protected Mexican immigrants against discrimination in, advertising, recruitment, hiring, job classification, promotions, discharge, wages, and salaries and other terms of employment. As a result, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the EEOC was established to guarantee equality in the workforce without discrimination to other ethnicities.
This section identifies and organizes recent empirical research that examines economic growth’s relationship with immigration, human capital, industry and development of technology. In theory, economic growth and development are different concepts. Growth and development often occur simultaneously, however, in the long run, growth and development may indicate different goals: growth emphasis efficiency at the moment, while development emphasizes sustainable and progressive change. Growth means more output (sometimes more input or higher efficiency), while development implies both increase in output and changes in the technical and institutional arrangements by which it is produced (Kindleberger 1958).
