The authors look at the characteristics and numbers of immigrants who have arrived in Australia in recent years, where they have settled and the impact on the workforce. They discuss the effect of immigration on Australia's population and outline the advantages and disadvantages of population growth through immigration. They include a thorough examination of research-based knowledge on economic, environmental and social impacts.
