Contries of net emigration often have deep seated economic or other problems.hchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799594181016858701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22031270.post-1153715021777665752006-07-24T14:23:00.000+10:002006-07-24T14:23:00.000+10:00I always wonder if it would be better to report ar...I always wonder if it would be better to report arrivals and depatures in seperate reports to help deconfound them in people's minds.<BR/><BR/>At present, I think people seem to treat immigration/emmigration as two different sides of the same coin and therefore they believe you should subtract one from the other to see how well Australia is doing.<BR/><BR/>However, I think this is faulty logic (excluding people who go and come back), since people come and go for different reasons. You can really win/lose at both immigration and emmigration, and presumably can do so for different reasons. I haven't read the report yet, but most of the others show that qualitatively different groups come/go, again suggesting a false dichotomy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
