As the end of competition increases, increasing population by immigrants leads to more challenging tasks, but by definition it is a bad economic decision. As the population increases with increasing fixed resources, the number of populations will decline and will result in a reduction in wealth per capita. In addition, unit prices based on natural resources may increase due to increased supply.
Since the end of the First World War, the Australian population has quadrupled. Most of them come from immigrants. After World War II and nearly 2000, nearly 9 million new immigrants arrived and settled in this country. Most immigrants are skilled, but immigration quotas include families and refugee categories. By 2050, the population of Australia is currently estimated to reach about 42 million people. More than a quarter of the Australian population (26%) was born overseas in 2016, the top five immigrant groups were UK (3.9%), New Zealand (2.2%), Mainland China (2.2%), India (1.9%) I was born. And Philippines (1%) immigrant group. After the abolition of White Australia policy in 1973, many government initiatives were established to encourage and promote racial harmony based on multiculturalism. From 2015 to 16, there were 189,770 permanent residents, mainly from Asia, entering Australia.
Historically, immigrants have played an important role in Australia. White Australian policy (WAP) and its final abolition played an important role in the formation of Australia in the 20th century. The Australian white policy explains the Australian prejudice against the immigrants from the Commonwealth to the end of the 20th century. The Australian Government phased out its policy within 25 years until it was completely abolished in 1973. There are several reasons to implement this policy, such as racial discrimination, fear of aggression, fear of a decline in living standards. If Australia is permitted immigration by WAP, Australia effectively isolates neighboring Asian countries It is. After policies were abolished, Australia was flooded with immigrants and new cultures. Today, Australia regards itself as a multicultural country, but racial discrimination and WAP hints still exist.
Immigrants have great value not only for economics but also for society for Australia. The aging of Australia, also called "baby-boomer generation", is a major concern for Australia. In Australia 's history immigration has been used many times to eliminate the elderly by reducing the difference between the elderly and the young. In the early 1980s, Mr. Hertford immigrated, "Immigrant benefits in reducing the relative cost of population aging are a major reason why the labor government agrees to increase immigration if the unemployment rate is high One. " The proportion of Australians under the age of the population has decreased from around 25% to 20%. By contrast, the percentage of people over the age of 60 has increased from about 9% to 13%. This is a struggle between Minister Hertford and the use of immigrants.
