The Italian population of Carlton : a demographic and sociological survey

Abstract

The Carlton survey may be described as a demographic and sociological investigation into selected characteristics of Anstralia's most numerous non-British immigrant group - the Italians -- in the metropolis in which they are most heavily represented - Melbourne. As its title suggests this investigation is limited in its scope, restricted in the main to the consideration of characteristics amenable to quantitative analysis. Its aims have been primarily empirical, an emphasis dictated by the absence of comparative studies of Australian metropolitan populations.
