Population Growth In Australia

Between 2000 and 2016 Australia underwent the most dramatic mining increase because the Victorian gold rush. Investment in the sector, widely defined, quadrupled. The additionally fuelled growth in a huge vary of industries servicing the sector, in particular engineering construction and business services.

The indefinite growth of the human population, has monumental impacts on the natural environment, not only in the UK, but around the globe. Architecturally, the entire process of designing and constructing a building, both domestic and not, can lead to the rapid exhaustion of natural resources across the planet. Building with environmental design strategies in mind not only combats the impact we as humans have on the natural environment, but also has considerable economic benefits, due to lower running costs of buildings and advanced occupant productivity. There are also many social benefits, such as improved air quality which resultantly leads too enhanced health of a buildings occupants.

Over the next 35 years, the Australian Healthcare system will be challenged significantly by the demand placed on it by our ageing population, as Australians are living longer they are suffering from more chronic illness as well as the normal aged related illness that will require a higher degree of medical intervention and care.

In 2017, an estimated 3.8 million Australians (15% of the population) are aged 65 and over compared with 2.2 million (13%) in 2007. An ageing population leads to:-

In Australia, our changing population is having an impact on our healthcare system. This essay will highlight and discuss several issues that are impacting on the Australian populations changing health status and what our nation and as health care providers can do to assist with these challenges. Providing issue appropriate health care education and prevention strategies is important in assisting our country to decrease the incidence of these issues becoming a burden. Our people are at risk from various impacts which include an increasing aging population, chronic illness, mental health issues, culturally appropriate health needs for our diverse ethnic population, childhood obesity, a rise in type 2 diabetes cases, dementia and cardiovascular health.

A major demographic change impacting Australia is the ageing population, it is expected that this change will accelerate over the coming years. (Corcoranb & Hana, 2014 pp. 2) The process of this begun during the post-war period and has started to impact Australia’s ability to cater to an ageing population. This is a result of the baby boomer generation beginning the transition from their work life into retirement. (Corcoranb & Hana, 2014 pp. 2) The ability to accommodate the ageing population has prompted questions regarding which areas will gain high levels of the ageing population growth and what services need to be provided to sustain this change. Corcoranb’s et al focuses on the spatial distribution in QLD and the impacting factors. The paper discusses reasons as to why ageing Australians may relocate to a new destination; some of these include a change in climate, retirement, deteriorating health and so on. According to Corcoranb et al (2014) a high proportion of ageing Australians move to more coastal regions due to the warmer climates.

The population profile of Australia has created impacting changes to how health care in Australia is to be delivered in the near future (Charlesworth, 2015). High rates of obesity, diabetes, heart diseases and poor life style choices such as smoking, alcohol and substance abuse, add to an existing crisis that imposes more pressure on an overworked healthcare system (Willcox, 2014).

The 1990 to 2000 population increase was the largest in American history. The population growth of 32.7 million people between 1990 and 2000 represents the largest census-to-census increase in American history.2 The previous record increase was 28.0 million people between 1950 and 1960, a gain fueled primarily by the post-World War II baby boom (1946 to 1964). Total decennial population growth declined steadily in the three decades following the 1950s’ peak before rising again in the 1990s. The 1990s economic boom in the United States was an extended period of economic prosperity, during which GDP increased continuously for almost ten years (the longest recorded expansion in the history of the United States). It commenced after the end of the

Since the beginning of civilising Australia, the Aboriginal people have been troubled and trapped into an unfamiliar world, ever since the devastating European Invasion of Australia, which took place in the year of 1788. Along with the settlement of the English people to Australia, several diseases were brought which dramatically decreased the population of the native-aboriginals. Statistics state that between the years of ‘1788 to 1900’, the indigenous population of Australia was decreased by a devasting percentage of 90%. Some of the diseases which were brought, such as smallpox, tuberculosis, influenza, measles, whooping cough and the common cold as well. As time passed, the British continued to expand and colonise Australia whilst driving

Perth, Western Australia (WA), was once a booming rich mining state. According to Vetti Kakulas (2017), during the mid-2000s, the commodities boom resulted in more full-time jobs due to the high salaries offered by mining giants, attracting “FIFO workers”. Due to a huge decline in commodities price over the years, more than 20,000 full time jobs in the mining industry have been cut in the past two. “When the mining industry expands people move over from the eastern states” (Kakulas 2017), which will cause an increase in housing demand. Since the end of the boom, people have been leaving the state at a high rate due to an increasing unemployment

What are the consequences of population ageing for the aged care system and for health inequalities in Australia?

Which may include some of the worst situation like decline in economic productivity, increase in environmental pressure and reduction in quality of life . Especially our family and friends who are living in Melbourne and Sydney suffer from congestion and a lack of access to jobs, schools, parks and hospital. The main concern at this stage should not be to about the growing population. But it should be about managing that population without reducing the current life facilities.

It is difficult to presume what would happen if one day Alberta’s population has the lowest average of population expansion ? As Johnston and Maclennan (2008) indicate, “Alberta’s population growth continued to be the highest among all provinces” (para. 1). At the same time, fast development of urban areas, stable economy and oil reserves attract newcomers to move the province of Alberta. In addition, the government of Alberta takes all possible measures to increase the quality of life and develop health facilities for all population groups. Furthermore, Alberta’s population expectations observe the significant changes in the future birth rates, which play very important role for the community growth.

The growth of a country is closely related to its population growth and can meet the needs of economic development. As a result, immigration can be the best way to save the economy when domestic population growth can not meet economic requirements. Since the 1970s, population growth in developing countries has slowed, leading to slower economic growth. Labor shortages in countries such as the UK, France and Germany have led to a severe recession. However, countries such as Canada have experienced great economic prosperity as new immigrants have been injected into the Canadian economy. It is therefore important for the Government to understand the immense impact of migration on the domestic economic boom. One of the most striking examples is

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.
