Notes:
The Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia (LSIA) provides a unique insight into a number of important questions, including the extent to which people who migrate under different visa categories have different outcomes; the impact of personal attributes such as English language proficiency, age, country of origin, formal education, prior work status and gender on economic independence; and the role played by Australian migrant services in assisting settlement. Two cohorts have been followed, highlighting significant changes in migrant selection criteria: Cohort 1 was first interviewed in 1993/4 and Cohort 2 in 1999/2000. Surveys were conducted about six months after arrival then 12 months and 24 months after the first wave.
