Over the last 20 years, there has been an unprecedented increase in humanitarian migrants all over the globe. The limited available evidence suggests humanitarian migrants settle less successfully, both economically and socially, than other migrants. Despite national and international attention, and huge expenditure of public funds, there appears to be little progress in improving the settlement outcomes of humanitarian migrants. Part of this gap in is due to the shortage of quality data. Additionally, previous work on humanitarian migrants’ settlement has been limited by and the use of cross-sectional data, which, not only fail to produce causal associations, but also miss the complexity of changes in settlement patterns over time. Using multiple rounds of panel data from the Building a New Life in Australia (BNLA) survey and longitudinal techniques, this project will address the following key research objectives, which are central to our understanding of humanitarian migrants’ settlement:
- Investigate the economic settlement outcomes of humanitarian migrants
- Examine the sociocultural settlement outcome of humanitarian migrants
- Investigate the political settlement outcome of humanitarian migrants
- Examine access to and use of government and non-government services and welfare benefits and their contribution to economic, sociocultural and political settlement of humanitarian migrants
Advisors are :Associate Professor Santosh Jatrana, Dr Yaqoot Fatima, Professor Gilbert Gee (University of California, Los Angeles)
