To begin, Australia’s population has increased from 7 million to over 23 million people in just over 50 years. Since 1914, the population has grown by over 20 million.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics projects that by 2061, Australia will have a population of 36 million people. The population growth of Australia is projected to be around 1.6%. This is a significant increase from the 1.2% projection made in 2011 and the population growth in Australia has increased by more than 10% since 2011.
With these rates, Australia will be home to approximately 50 million people by the year 2056, up from 24 million in 2011.
Population growth of Australia is a relatively new topic that is gaining traction in the media. Many people are asking whether the population of Australia will continue to increase or decrease in the future.
The Australian government has been debating whether they should implement policies to reduce this growth rate and control how much land they need to build infrastructure or not. Currently, the number of babies a woman can have is limited by law. The current limit is two children.
The limit was introduced in the late 1970s to reduce population growth and to address environmental issues. The law was introduced in 1978 but it has been debated many times since then. In addition, Australian’s aging population is expected to have longer life expectancies.
In conclusion, population growth of Australia is expected to grow.
