Disadvantages Of Growth In Australia

Australia is a unique country, and it has a long history of population growth due to

Population, participation and productivity: needs to have new migrants to lift the three ‘"Ps" of high economic growth - population, participation and productivity’ (Carvalho, 2015) for its economic sustainability. The IGR 2015 shows that compared to 54% of Australians being under 40, more than 88% of the migrant population is below 40. Similarly more than 50% of those who came in within the last three years are aged between 20-34 years whereas one in five Australians fall in that age group. Migrants are mostly young and fall within the productive age group. Therefore the migrants can be easily the valued human capital for Australia to continue its economic growth. Moreover, increasing aged population will

They have fresh air. Australia has one of the lowest air pollution levels in the world.

Imperialism in Australia greatly boosted British economy, the Penal colony housed thousands of convicts for Britain, the convicts were also assigned laborious jobs, such as mining, farming, fishing, raising livestock, and construction. All of these jobs provided a positive impact on the British Empire, when the Australians struck gold in the mid 19th century, convicts were present, along with the free miners, to mine gold, and much of the gold that the convicts mined went to Great Britain. Having such a large labor force boosted the economical success of Australia, Australians found the land easy to mine, the coast had damp soil, there was iron ore, copper and gold, along

Immigration can be defined as the action of individuals coming to live permanently or for a period in another country. With a forecasted population of 40 million by 2050 in Australia, the population growth in Australia remains at a steady rate of 1.6%. According to the Bureau of Statistics, each year, Australia's population increases about 350,000 where 190,000 of them are immigrants.

Australia’s population is currently 23.8 million and is still growing. In 1960 it was 10 million and at this rate it is expected to reach 42 million by 2050. The population growth and natural increase rate of Australia is affected by The Baby Bonus and Paid Parental Leave and the ageing population structure and The Pension, as well as the current spatial distribution of Australia with policies such as Satellite Cities. Using these policies and statistics the optimum population for Australia is 25 million. There is no clear right or wrong answer to the optimum population; it all depends on the opinions of Australians.

In his article ‘One big happy family’ (The Australian, 31 October, 2009, pg. 58) Bernard Salt discusses the problems surrounding population growth in Australia; he recognises the concern the impact can have on resources, however Salt questions whether these concerns are valid.

The effects of Globalisation on Australia can be disseminated into a number of different categories. For the purposes of this report five major categories including Economic, Social, Cultural, Environmental and Political have been explored and summarised but is by no means exhaustive.

In the year ending 31 December 2009, Australia's estimated resident population (ERP) had increased by 433,000 people to 22.2 million, a 2.0% increase from December 2008. This followed growth of 460,000 people (or 2.2%) between December 2007 and December 2008. The rate of population growth has become considerably faster since the mid-2000s. Over the two decades prior to 2006, the annual growth rate had averaged 1.3%, adding an average of 234,000 people per year in that period. The recent growth rate of around 2% per year is faster than at any other time in the past several decades, and faster than nearly all other developed countries.

Earlier this year business leader Dick Smith lobbied the Government to half the number of immigrants arriving in Australia (Benns, 2017). Senator Paulin Hanson has called for a ban on Muslim immigration to Australia (Ross, 2015). Thanks to theses high profile individuals in places of authority, The topic of immigration has recently re-entered the public discourse. This essay will attempt argue that although Immigration has some negative impacts, High levels of Immigration are beneficial to the economy. This essay will discuss the impact immigration has on gross domestic product, the labour market and on population growth.

Along with the Industrial Revolution, came more efficient and mechanised farming practices which resulted in less demand in agricultural workers. As employment opportunities in the rural areas of Britain declined, the towns were filled with those seeking work. These people saw life in Australia could benefit them more as they could possibly have an opportunity of doing well and another bonus they saw was that their money could go further in Australia than in Britain. They then moved to Australia to be able to start a new life, however it wasn’t easy to migrate to Australia. Due to the high fares and having to look for a new job and house is not easy at all.

Physical activity and training have been practiced since the early civilisations of Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt. Physical skills, such as swimming, fishing, hunting, riding, archery, running, and wrestling were a part of everyday life and vital to the survival of the ancient people (Phillips & Roper, 2006). The importance of physical fitness has also been referenced in classic literary characters; Achilles and Odysseus, the heroes of Homer’s the Iliad and the Odyssey, both of whom were ‘men of action’ and participated in javelin, running, wrestling, and chariot races, amongst other athletic skills (Howell & Howell, 1979; Mechikoff & Estes, 1998; Phillips & Roper, 2006). In the many civilisations that followed, a societies’ standing, wealth, race, population, gender, conflict, government, and military all had an influence on the attitudes and the systems implemented regarding physical activity, training, and education (Glassford & Redmond, 1979). In Australia’s infancy in the early 1800s, the British Government implemented a simple curriculum for the colonies that only included geography, reading, writing, and arithmetic. It took until the 1850s for drill and gymnastics to be added to the curriculum, along with drawing and singing (Crawford, 1981).

Salt says if having a population of 22 million people will be an issue, then which nationality would have been the ones prevented from coming to Australia. Being the only nation claiming sovereignty of resources of a whole continent, a greater population will mean increased standard of living and carbon footprint. Reaching ‘peak humanity’ of 9.1 billion in the next 60 days,

Also as Sydney created a new Olympic Stadium ANZ and new arenas for swimming, rowing, equestrian and more. Australia was is now able to host a huge amount of sporting events now because of that like football games example Real Madrid and Arsenal coming to play here to attract more fans this is watched throughout the world

According to the government, an ever expanding Australian population will challenge mandatory living supplies such as jobs, power, infrastructure, water as well as causing environmental damages. Salt defies this statement and questions, whether they thought the same thing 40 years ago when the population was 12 million and it increased to 22 million.
