Plan Aims to Balance Sex Ratios in Immigration
Mr. Downer and Mr. Carver report 1960 figures show 40 937 male to 29 074 female migrants in nine months. The balance has been shifting since 1954 with reductions in marriageable women and targeted female migration in assisted programmes. He notes historic male preponderance declined from 62 000 in 1948 1950 to under 4 000 from 1957 1959, aligning with policy aims.
