Summary
Graeme Hugo was an international figure in population geography and demography, and a pre-eminent scholar in international migration, demographic trends, and population geography and mobility. His main research interests were population geography and demography (particularly in Southeast Asia), social geography, demographic trends (especially population mobility and internal migration); immigration patterns and their implications for social and economic change; and population statistics. Hugo was a member of numerous policy advisory bodies for the Australian and other governments and for non-government organisations. He often participated in international meetings focussed upon international migration policy that were sponsored by lead agencies such as the World Bank and the International Organisation for Migration. In more than 1,800 publications he canvassed topics as diverse as ageing and the role of migration in Australian regional development, labour mobility and development in Southeast Asia, and migration and climate change.
