Whether immigration might bring benefits to a country or not is a controversial topic. In recent years, many migrants have left their countries to look for a better life, especially in developed countries. It is believed that immigrants can have many negative effects on a country because of social disturbances. This essay will examine the impacts of immigration on Australia in terms of society and economy.
It has been seen that society might be more plentiful when the country have more foreigners. Every country also have their own cultural beauties, with many customs and habits, with the traditional and modern features. Australian society is increasingly diverse thanks to the arrival of many cultures and traditions from more than 200 countries around the world. Many new cultural characteristics appeared and interference with the local culture, that have a profound impact to the life of immigrants as well as native speakers. Cultural sectors affected most from immigration is probably cuisine and festivals. This is a multicultural country, therefore it can be able to find enough dining style here. For example, the cuisine from barbecue to “English breakfasts”, or Chinese, Japan, Thailand, Greece food are easily served in Australia. The reason is that immigrants have brought culinary culture of their
Immigration has had the most dramatic effect on the current religious landscape of Australia, leading to an increase in some groups and the decline of others. The origins of the decline of the first doctrines that came to Australia can be traced back to the to the relaxation of the White Australia Policy. This in turn led to an increased population of Immigrants in Australia from countries other than Britain, Italy, Ireland and European countries in general.
WWII had a big impact on the social changes in Australia before and after the war. One of the reasons it had such an impact on Australia was due to the immigration policy, which was made to increase Australia’s population. The immigration policy is a policy on legal migrants. Legal migrants who come to Australia under the migration act are non – Australians who come to the country for work or other reasons without permission or people who overstay their visas. This enforces that those who come in the country without permission may be subject to mandatory immigration detention and may be deported from the country at any time, unless been given permission to stay in Australia. This policy has contributed to the multicultural society of Australia today. To this day, there in an estimated 50 000 people who have overstayed their visas, most of these people come from British nations. Those touching base by boat or different means without official classification as refugees are no longer granted permission outcast status on landing. For example, those from an Asian background are becoming a more familiar part of Australia’s society today. Overseas migrant entries have assumed a vital part in changing the face of Australia. The current variety of migrants born in Australia include areas such as The United Kingdom, New Zealand, Italy, Vietnam, China, Greece, Germany, Philippines and India. Since the change in immigration policy in the late 1960s to one of non-discrimination on race or ethnic background, there has been a significant change in the overseas sources of migrants, with settlers arriving from more diverse regions of the world. To this day, Australia’s overseas born population consists of people who practise over 140 recognized ethnic groups, people who fluently speak over 90 different languages and people who believe in over 80 different religions. This expanding ethnic and social diversity has changed the way Australians view both themselves and other societies of the world. It has
After WW2, the Labour Prime Minister, Ben Chifley, launched Australia’s largest immigration program ever. Along with the program, the catchphrase ‘Populate or Perish’ was widely used to imply that more immigrants, preferably white, were necessary to fight of the steady stream of Asian immigration. As part of Immigration policy, these immigrants were expected to assimilate – meaning that they had to give up their preceding culture and embody Australian customs. This was simple for those who come from Britain but was very much a difficult task for those few immigrants who were not of British descent.
A “White Australia” policy was introduced in the early 1900’s, significantly influencing views of immigration. The common belief of society was that only people from Europe, and preferably Britain and Ireland, were considered to be ‘good enough’ for immigration to Australia. People from all other nations, particularly Asian countries, were forced to undergo the incredibly difficult challenges to move permanently to Australia. If in
Australian food, before the different cultures started to integrate into the country, were simple home cooked meals such as, roast, mash with sausages, chicken parmi and more. With the influx of cultures during the 20th century into Australia, also came their traditions as well as their cultural foods. This investigation researches the impact that these cultures have had on the food and hospitality industry in Australia. This investigation is linked in with the area of study 4: sociocultural influences and focuses on the influence of Australia’s diverse cultures impacting the hospitality industry.
Immigration has always been a controversial topic in Australian society; who the government should and should not let into the country. Over the years Australia’s immigration policy has evolved and changed with the changing of attitudes and beliefs in society. The current immigration policy for Australia is a lot less discriminatory than past policies like the “White Australia policy” and the “Populate or Perish policy”. After federation in 1901 the Australian government created the Immigration Restriction Act.

The modern Australian cuisine has been greatly inclined by different migrants to the country. The arrival of immigrants from Eastern Europe, Asia and the Middle East has brought an enormous range of new tastes. Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Lebanese, French, African and Greek cuisine have made such great influence on Australian flavours. Australian cuisine has a variety of flavours mixed with other cultures as different nationalities migrated in Australia in the mid-19th century. Our cuisine is influenced by those immigrants, and without them, our food might be tasteless. The Europeans, for example, brought coffee, lasagne and pizza in 1950s - this affected Australians’ diet. Now, pizzas have variety of flavours influencing Australia - it can now

Also the census data in 2012 shown that Australian culture become more and more diversified due to migration’s population increase (Mercer 2012). The data show that Australia as a new economic center was raising, the refugees and migrations contribute effort for pushing economic positively, though the development was slightly (Williams 1996).

Asian Immigrants have gone from having a continuous restriction year to year then to becoming a major part of Australian society. However, since the policy of Integration in 1970 and the abolishment of the dictation test in 1958 Asians has had the opportunity to migrate to Australia. This has been continuous since that major change with more and more arriving every year. The changes in these policies were made as Australia was becoming a more multicultural society and the Asian Migration wave has altered Australia today by making Australia richer and more culturally diverse.

Because of this no changes should be made to these political

Within the past ten years, immigration has tripled in the UK. The rising trend of immigration has led to a strongly negative perception towards foreigners within the British population. Economists have a more modest opinion on immigration; the economic impact of immigration seems crucial, but it would seem that it in fact only has a small effect on the domestic labor market. Furthermore, the Home Office has indirectly conceded that they have lost the general compendium over the number of incoming immigrants, creating objectives to manage immigration to the benefit of the UK. Firstly, an assessment of the immigration statistics will be made, giving an overview of the accrued immigrants as of
