1B.5 Issues relating to natural capital


Population characteristics and pressures that are a consequence of migration policies cannot be understood and effectively managed when there are noteworthy shortfalls in data describing changing situations. Specific and general comments made in the introduction to this report with respect to recognised difficulties with data quality and deficiencies particularly apply for areas of social concern that describe characteristics of migrant population in Australia.


Although most international migrants settle in metropolitan areas, migration programs designed to attract skilled migrants to regional areas assumed increasing importance during the 1996-2001 intercensal period and even greater prominence since the 2001 census (Hugo 2004). Visa-specific reporting by DIMA (2005a, 2005b) contributes to information and understanding with respect to these program outcomes. Nevertheless, numbers of migrants within these regional schemes are still small by comparison with total migrant intakes.
A summary of data relating to natural capital that were sourced for this analysis is presented in Table 1B.5.1.
