According to ABS, on 20 Jun 2007, there are 50, 323 Singaporeans
living in Australia (Migrants) ------------- Fig 6.6
Median age:
Male: 32.9
Female: 35.1
86.9 males for every 100 females (Of course we know that there
are Singapore female with Aussie partners)
2006-2007 Fig 5.2 There are 4,100 people left Australia
permanently (> 1 year) to Singapore, out of which, 2,500
are Australian-born (Foreign-talent) and and 1,600# are
Singapore-born returning to Singapore.
Singapore-born migrants in Australia
1997 ------ 33,406
2002 ------ 37,227
2005 ------ 43,579
2006 ------ 46,385 *
2007 ------ 50,323 *
So, if 3,938 arrived between 2006* and 2007* and 1,600 return,
the returnee figure is 40.63%. If 3,938 arrival in Australia
and a total 4,100 left for Singapore, we know that Singapore is
still an attractive destination.
But do bear in mind that a number of these returnees are
graduated students who took PR due to peer pressure and return to
SG due to parental/family/partner pressures.
Also noticed that the rate of Singapore-born arrivals are
increasing over the years.
3,821 over 5 years (1997-2001)
6,352 over the next 3 years (2002-2004)
2,806 (2005-2006)
3,938 (2006-2007) ......... everyday, 10 people quit
Singapore for Australia. Why?
