Professor Castles presented this issue in a symposium at a workshop to review studies of migration and the diversity of migration patterns in Australia. This workshop was sponsored by the Australian Academy of Social Sciences, in the presence of Professor Graeme Hugo (University of Adelaide) and Vasta Associate Professor Ellie (Macquarie University). This event has been published in the latest issue of Academy of Social Sciences, Australia.

" In the period from the mid-1990s, while international migration was booming globally and there were many changes, expanding and diversifying forms of migration, it was in Australia. A significant decrease in quantity in studies aimed at dealing with migration and its diversification in the context of transnational , "said Professor Castles.

"Because of the lack of scientific evidence on immigration in Australia, it has facilitated the development of false, selfish and bigotry information. Researchers need to provide more and more many necessary and accurate data on immigration issues and the diversification of international immigration forms for the Australian public to understand. "

Because of the decline in studies on migration and diversification in forms of migration, there has been a series of new issues that need to be explored and explored by scientists. Study, Professor Castles said:

" We need a more detailed understanding of migration processes and how to solve this problem in a new transnational context: groups of new births, increasingly diverse, global debates. about new security challenges brought about by migration issues, new forms of transnational relationships, to change the way Australians see issues for newcomer groups and implications . "

"Migration and the diversity of forms of migration can bring economic, political and social advantages to each state of Australia, but it is necessary to exploit such advantages. implementation of appropriate immigration support policies and good implementation to facilitate favorable conditions and minimize or avoid negative manifestations of migration and diversity of migration patterns bring. "

According to Professor Castles, Australia is a country where the majority of the population is international migrants or children of migrants, which is even larger than in other countries in the world.

"In the 1980s and early 1990s, Australia was the world leader not only in studies of migration and outlined solutions, but also in how to link research findings to in-migration. immigration issues, helping the Australian government make policies and implementing solutions that bring positive effects Most of the Australians migrating and the policies that have been implemented in the past are indisputable evidence.
