INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION NEWS AND NOTES.

The article focuses on international migration as well as news and notes related thereto. It reports that according to population projections released by the Commonwealth Bureau of Census and Statistics in Canberra, Australia could have a population of nearly 20 million by 1986. These estimates are based on certain assumptions as to future natural increase and overseas migration, namely that the birth rate will continue to rise uniformly and net immigration will continue at a rate of 100,000 a year. Assuming this annual intake, the Bureau estimated another 3,364,000 migrants would have arrived by 1986 in Australia. It is further informed that on February 26 the agreement between Italy and Brazil, giving regulations for assisting migration to Brazil and provision for certain facilities, which was drawn up in Rome on December 9, 1960, came into effect. Responsibility for the local settlement of the refugees already in Burundi had been taken over by the governmental authorities during the second half of 1963 and these refugees were on their way towards becoming self-supporting.
