Existing projections of Australia’s Indigenous Population suffer from a number of limitations: problematic input data, unsatisfactory projection model design, and poor forecast performance. The aim of this study was to create a new model for projecting that population that better represents the demographic processes at work, and that makes use of a newly available data source on identification change. A new projection model is presented that explicitly incorporates ethnic-identification change, and mixed (Indigenous/Non-Indigenous) partnering and childbearing. It is a composite static–dynamic model which takes a multi-state form where data allow. The model was used to produce projections for the 2011–61 period. Rapid growth of the Indigenous Population is expected, with population momentum, identification change, and mixed partnering and childbearing shown to contribute more to growth than above-replacement fertility and increasing life expectancy. The future growth of Australia’s Indigenous Population is thus intimately connected to its interaction with the Non-Indigenous Population. 相似文献

The demography of Indigenous Australians is distinguished from that of other Australians by relatively high mortality and fertility leading to very different composition by age. This is beginning to change as movement towards a convergence in vital rates is observed. In the meantime, the Australian government has established targets for Indigenous socioeconomic outcomes that simultaneously impact on, and are affected by, the course of demographic change. This paper examines the relationship between these targets and projected Indigenous demographic outcomes that arise from incipient population ageing. The most likely scenario is movement into an indeterminate period of potential demographic dividend. If demand for Indigenous labour expands alongside reductions in age dependency this could provide for dramatic improvement in Indigenous economic circumstances. However, caution is warranted as disparities in adult mortality require long-term solutions and movement into a second phase of demographic transition appears likely to be delayed. 相似文献

Leaning on the formal faceted definition of wellbeing (Levy and Guttman (1975) Social Indicators Research, 2, 361–388), a mapping sentence is provided for defining the universe of observations of the wellbeing of the self-expanding
on personality aspects. The structure of the interrelationships among the variables of the expanded conceptualization of self’s
personality is examined by the use of the SSA technique. The sample consists of 176 adult residents (20 years of age and over)
from all parts of the city of Jerusalem, Israel. Results further verify the circular structure (radex) of personal wellbeing.
The state of wellbeing-versus- wellbeing in the sense of possession of resources partition the space into two concentric belts,
while the life domains of wellbeing play a polarizing role in partitioning the space into wedglike regions emanating from
a common origin. Self’s personality domains-versus-self’s social environment domains serve as a rationale for the circular
order. The expanded conceptualization of personal wellbeing enhance the earlier conceptualization of the 1975 study and makes
possible the development of the theory of the structure of the wellbeing of the self in a systematic cumulative fashion. 相似文献

The Australian Bureau of Statistics provides population estimates of Statistical Local Areas annually. The accuracy of these estimates can be assessed after population estimates are rebased after each quinquennial Census of Population and Housing, however there appears to be no straightforward method of assessing these estimates. Errors that occur with population estimates can be attributed to several factors, both broad and specific to individual areas. These factors include inherent characteristics of the region, such as population size and growth rate; changes in the geographic boundaries; quality of input data; estimation method; and adjustments to control totals (state populations). 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe author provides conceptual and operational definitions of the construct of resilience in the context of research with older adults (aged 60 years or older). Two psychometric instruments (the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the Resilience Scale) are described. The psychometric properties of each instrument are discussed in relation to the research of the original developers of the tools and research conducted by other investigators. Research on the resilience of older women has yet to be initiated. The author evaluated the psychometric properties of both instruments to determine their suitability for investigation of resilience in older women. 相似文献

This paper considers several policy responses to declining birth rates in Australia over the twentieth century, revealing
key continuities in the ‘administration of population’. Early in the century pronatalist policies to enhance fertility predominated.
In spite of evidence in the 1890s, 1920s and 1940s that economics shaped family sizes and that women’s lives included paid
work, little acknowledgment of this occurred outside wartime. In the second half of the twentieth century, immigration largely
replaced pronatalism as a desired means of building population numbers. Century’s end brought new concerns about fertility
decline, an ageing population, immigration and increased asylum seeking. These concerns revitalized the call for a population
policy and raised unresolved questions for women.
This expression comes from Mr Ozanne, speaker in the Commonwealth House of Representatives debate on the Maternity Allowance
Bill, 1912, Australia, Commonwealth Parliamentary Debates, 3412. He spoke of ‘women doing their duty to Australia by bringing
the unclothed immigrant into the world’. 相似文献

Using data collected by Center for Population and Development Studies of Renmin University of China in 2009 in Chaoyang district of Beijing, Dongguan city of Guangdong province and Zhuji city of Zhejiang province, this paper does an empirical study on the laddering migration of China’s floating population. The findings indicate that floating population’s geographical laddering migration, occupational laddering migration and family laddering migration exist in the process of migration. Geographical laddering migration is influenced by demographic characteristics, migration experience and pathfinder effect of parents. Occupational laddering migration is influenced by migration experience, stability of occupation and social interaction with local residents in destination. Family laddering migration is influenced by family member’s characteristics, area of arable land, migration experience and the number of relatives in destination. 相似文献

In this paper we follow a lead provided by Basu and Basu [‘The Greying of Populations: Concepts and Measurement,’ Demography India 16, pp. 79–89], in order to advance a class of ‘agedness’ indices which, because they have been motivated by analogous considerations in the poverty measurement literature, can find application in that area of enquiry as well. The properties of the proposed indices are discussed, and illustrations of empirical application are provided. The note is intended as a contribution to the larger enquiry into the measurement of development indicators. 相似文献

The trends of population urbanization have been received increasing attention in the 21st century.The paper argues that population movement and migration has been over fertility and mortality and becomes the predominating driving force on demographic dynamics in China. Facing an entirely new demographic situation,population urbanization should be favorably welcomed.Taking Beijing and Germany as cases,it examines the city size issue from an urban system perspective,and argues that urban functions should be properly defined within an urban system.We should recognize the importance of urbanization to modernization and removing the factors which may negatively affect the urbanization process,so as to promote healthy development of urbanization in China. 相似文献

This paper starting point is the dynamic changes and shifts in the field of measuring and monitoring children’s well being.
In the paper we focus on one specific change – the “new” role of children in measuring and monitoring their own well being
– a role of active participants rather then of subjects for research. We then turn to present based on a sequence of arguments
and findings what role children should carry in measuring and monitoring their well being. Followed by a presentation of five
possible roles for children involvement in such studies and in regard to the specific roles existing knowledge from various
studies and suggested directions for future research are presented. The danger of children’s involvement is such studies are
then discussed followed by a presentation of what do children think on this all issue. Finally we conclude that the potential
involved in children’s involvement is much greater then the hazards. 相似文献

This paper delineates general validity and research questions that are underlying an ongoing program of research pertaining
to the Early Development Instrument (EDI, Janus and Offord 2007), a population-level measure, on which teachers rate kindergarten children’s developmental outcomes in the social, emotional,
physical, cognitive, and communicative domains. It describes the large-scale research projects that are using the EDI to measure
children’s developmental outcomes for entire populations (e.g., provinces, cities). Given the uniqueness of the EDI’s use
as monitoring tool, or social indicator, for children’s developmental health at an early age, we spell out the opportunities
and challenges that these projects provide with regard to validation research. The article sets the stage for the special
issue, as it is dedicated to showcase the different aspects of the conceptual, theoretical, and empirical validation research
as well as the collaborative community-based projects that are currently being undertaken with respect to the EDI. 相似文献
