Immigration and Refugee Policy: Australia and Canada Compared, Vol. 1

by Howard Adelman

Immigration is one of the major policy issues for the governments of Australia and Canada in the 1990s. This detailed comparative study describes Australian and Canadian migration patterns and policies and places them within the broader context of international population movements. As well as analyzing policies adopted by the two countries to foster social cohesion, some chapters also consider the economic and environmental consequences of immigration on their host countries. There are chapters on racism, ethnicity, language, aging, economic status, education, and the effects of immigration on crime. ( There is no set ISBN.
