Robin Haines has analysed the origins, occupations, literacy, and
mobilization of emigrants recruited in the UK on behalf of colonial
legislatures. Her exploration of strict selection procedures shows
that the symbiosis between the clergy, empire-minded philanthropic
societies, and parishes, which combined to fund the emigrants'
considerable pre-departure expenses, increased the opportunities
for underemployed rural and domestic workers during an era of farm
rationalization and industrial restructuring. Although poor, hybrid
state and private funding enabled them to relocate to Australia
where their skills were in demand.
