Abstract
This article explores the work lives of Australia's immigrant women using the 1 percent public use sample of individual records from the 1981 Census. Direct standardization for age and regression techniques illuminate differences among native born Australians, and immigrants from English speaking countries, Northwestern Europe, Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean region, and the Third World in labor force participation, unemployment, of occupational status, entrepreneurship, and income.Keywords
