	Profile of Lao in Australia
		Considering the ethnic composition of Laos and the nature of contemporary Lao emigration to Australia it is perhaps not unexpected that 76.7 per cent of the Laos-born community in Australia speak Lao at home, with the majority of the remainder (9.5 per cent) indicating that they spoke a Chinese dialect, predominantly Mandarin.
		Considering the recency of Lao immigration to Australia, and that a high proportion of those who settled in Australia in the late 1970s and early 1980s came as refugee and family reunion immigrants, it may be expected that the manufacturing sector be one of the areas of high industrial concentration for the Laos-born workers.
		In relation to this issue, the current family composition profile of the Laos-born community is a result of the demographic structure of the community, as well as the characteristics and nature of emigration from Laos to Australia and the period of time that members of the community have been in Australia.
