Do immigrants have higher or lower labour-force participation rates than the Australian-born?
People and Place
|January 1, 1995
Abstract:
"Before the mid 1980s aggregate labour-force participation rates of migrants were higher than those of Australian-born people. They are now lower. Is this trend an artefact of differences in the age structure of the two populations? [The author's] analysis shows that it is not. The deterioration in the labour-force participation of migrants is real."
