A Comparison of Anglo-Indian and Australian Earnings by Qualification, Industry and Occupation

Abstract

Adrian Gilbert’s article has as its primary concern an analysis of Anglo-Indians in Australia, using data from the 1986 Census. In the context of past research the importance of the present study is as follows. It goes some way to filling a gap in the literature on the experience of Anglo-Indians in Australia by examining hourly income in an inter-group setting. The hourly earnings of Anglo-Indians are compared to two other groups, firstly, people who had both parents born in the United Kingdom and secondly, to those people with both parents born in Australia.
