The given line graph compares the proportion of people living in Australia who were born in three different places namely Asia, the UK and other regions over a 35-year period, starting from 1976.
It is noticeable that the number of people born in Asia living in Australia increased steadily, whilst those in the UK decreased gradually between 1976 and 2011. Overall, we can also see that the sum of people living in Australia who were born in some continents went up over a period shown.
In the year 1976, around 3% of people living in Australia came from Asia, while those coming from The UK and other regions were about 14% and 11% respectively. In 1986, there was a slight rise in the number of Asians living in Australia. By contrast, the percentage of British living in Australia saw a dramatic drop and the proportion of people coming from another place hit a low of almost 7. 5%.
From 1981 to 2011, a significant increase was seen in both groups of people coming from other continents, with Asia reaching a peak of 15% and other places also hit a peak in 2006 of around 13% before dropping gradually in 2011. Nevertheless, there was a small decline in the figure for people living in Australia who were born in The UK.
