This paper traces variations in the dairy farm work force in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland. Although the substantial differences between States in income levels are reflected in differing rates of reduction in the work force, these differences are not also reflected by appreciable differences in mean age and age structure. The cohort analysis explains this observation.
