This week Helen Blake and I are working with
Laura Bennetts Kneebone at the
Department of Social Services in
Canberra. We are analysing data from the
Building a New Life in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Humanitarian Migrants. The first wave of the BNLA
draws on data from 2399 respondents from 1509 households interviewed in
2013/14. We are considering the impact of English language proficiency on
migrants’ settlement and participation in Australia. We have learned that our
paper based on these data has been accepted for presentation at the
Australian Institute of Family Studies conference in Melbourne in July.
