The given chart depicts the demography of residents in Australia who were born in Asia, the UK, and other regions.
Overall, it is immediately apparent that the percentage of immigrants whose homelands are the UK and Asia witnessed a diametrically opposed trend, while the proportion of other immigrants followed an erratic pattern.
In 1976, the number of the residents who came from the UK was by far the most crowded population of foreign people in Australia, contributing nearly 15% of the chart. Meanwhile, this figure for Asia and other regions accounted for roughly 5% and 10%, respectively. In the following 10 years, the number of the dwellers whose fatherlands are the UK and other regions decreased sharply to one in ten and roughly 7%, respectively. Following an upward trend, this figure for Asian individuals reached the same proportion compared to the other areas. Consequently, this demographic change made the total foreign population drop by 10% in 1996.
In the subsequent 25 years, the number of the British in this country declined swiftly and ended up at 5%. Furthermore, there were more and more Asian people who immigrated to Australia, which made them have the lion’s share of the chart. The year 2006 also saw the number of other regions inhabitants rose quickly, prior to falling slightly to approximately 13% in 2011. Thus, the total of these figures went up to a quarter of the chart in 2011.
