Description

The Socio-Economic Impacts of Colonialisation in Australia. The economic history of Australia is very deeply linked to its colonisation. Using newly collected British and Irish records of settlers, Australian arrival records and subsequent censuses, together with current and recent rich administrative health records and surveys, this proposal will create a rich dataset to measure the impact that British colonialisation had on Australia on a range of socio-demographic and economic outcomes in the short and long-run. Understanding the dynamics of these foundational periods is crucial for shedding light on the root causes of contemporary disparities among disadvantaged Australians and informing effective policy measures..
