Australia's cultural diversity
Migrant and ethnic communities
People who share a similar cultural background are part of an ethnic community or a migrant community. The migrant community is anyone who has come to Australia from overseas. An ethnic community refers to a group o people with the same cultural background. For example, the Vietnamese community is an example of an ethnic community.
With a declining rate of natural increase, and a consistency in the net migration rate, it appears as if Australia will have a society that is increasingly multicultural. Overseas migration has played an important role in Australia’s population.
