Abstract
This paper examines work resources of Yugoslavia, using data from the one percent public use sample of the 1981 Australian Census. Author describes their educational background, work experience, and English language fluency, systematically comparing Yugoslavs with other immigrant groups, particularly Greeks, Italians, other Mediterraneans, and Eastern Europeans. In most respects, the Yugoslavs are more like the Mediteranean immigrants (Greeks, Italians, and others) than they are the Eastern European immigrants. A subsequent article will describe men's jobs and women's labour force participation, and how they are affected by the work resources described in this paper.
