Tasmania's Turnaround? (2005)
After a decade of net migration loss (1992-2002) which culminated in four years of absolute decline, Tasmania’s fortunes in the migration stakes appear to have recently turned around. However while the ‘return to growth’ has been widely heralded, the age distribution of Tasmania’s migrants has in fact accelerated its ‘premature structural ageing’ and sent it hurtling even faster towards natural decline. This paper outlines Tasmania’s experience of migration both historically and over the recent period. It argues that, in the context of population ageing, Tasmania might do well to capitalise on the opportunities offered by the enormous growth forthcoming at the older ages (globally as well as nationally), and seek a type of ‘Clayton’s’ growth – the growth you have when you are no longer having growth. Following the State Government’s lead in seeing economic growth drawing population, it may be that – at least in the short- to medium-term, conventional population growth would follow.
