    This review examines post-WWII Australian immigration explanations, identifying pull-factor theories and noting the increasing relevance of push-factor research, including family migration and asylum seekers.

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Economics
    • Political Science

    Background:

    • Post-Second World War literature on Australia's immigration program.
    • Three main schools of thought based on net pull factors have been identified: the official explanation, and two unofficial explanations focusing on migrants as workers and consumers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and synthesize the literature explaining Australia's immigration program.
    • To assess the relevance of existing explanations in light of changing migration dynamics.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of post-Second World War scholarly works.
    • Analysis of explanations based on net pull and net push factors.

    Main Results:

    • Identified three dominant schools of thought based on net pull factors: official, migrant-as-worker, and migrant-as-consumer explanations.

  • Observed a shift towards the increasing importance of net push factors since 1974, diminishing the contemporary relevance of some earlier theories.
  • Noted the nascent development of push-factor-focused perspectives, with research emerging on chain migration, family-based strategies, asylum seekers, temporary migration, and migration law.

    • Conclusions:

    • Existing pull-factor-based explanations for Australian immigration require re-evaluation due to the rise of push-factor influences.
    • Further research is needed to develop coherent theoretical frameworks for understanding migration driven by net push factors.
