Note: The method of estimating settler loss is in footnote 2 in Table 2. The estimates of settler arrivals are greater than official statistics of permanent arrivals because they include estimates of visitors — both long-term and short-term — who stay permanently in Australia, some illegally and some with official permission to change status. A full explanation of these estimates and their derivation, with details for all countries, appear in my recent monograph for BIMPR entitled Assessing Australian Migration Statistics 1932-93 |
