Abstract

Emigration from Croatia (Yugoslavia) to Australia, as well as to most overseas countries, occurred under the influence of general push factors in the emigration country and specific pull factors in the immigration country. Among other things, the size of emigration, i.e. the number of transcontinental (e)migrants was most often the result of inter-mixed and cumulative effects of these factors. Due to this, Australia recently became the leading overseas immigration country for Yugoslav (especially Croatian and Macedonian) migrants. Using the standard time periodisation (the pre-war, inter-war and after-war periods) the paper attempts to illustrate the influence of the mentioned push and pull factors on overseas emigration from Croatia to Australia.
