the line chart shows about the percentage of people living Australia, born in Asia, UK and other regions nXpeR

The graph shows the proportion of people who were born in the UK, Asia and other regions resident in Australia over a 35-year period. Overall, the percentage of those originally from the UK fell over the period, while the proportion of people of Asian origin rose sharply. In 1976, about 14% of the Australian population were born in the UK, compared with 12% from other regions and 3% from Asia. The figure for those born in the UK declined steadily to 5% in 2011. In contrast, the percentage of those born in Asia increased significantly to reach 15% by the end of the period. The proportion of Australian residents from other regions fluctuated, falling to a low point of 8% in 1986. There was then a steady increase to 14% in 2006, with a slight fall in 2011. The graph also shows the combined figures for people born in the UK, Asia and other regions, as a percentage of the total Australian population. In 1976 this stood at around 23%, falling to 21% in 2001 and then increasing to form one quarter of the Australian population in 2011.
