Question

Explain why some people think Australia is not under-populated

Answer 1

For a modern developed nation, Australia is taking a less-travelled path to prosperity. It wants more Australians.

"Provided population growth is planned for by government, it represents power to the economy," said Craig James, chief economist at stockbroker and fund manger CommSec. "Businesses are in business because they want to grow and solid population growth assists in that."

A strong economy and low unemployment have helped Australia attract and keep well educated and skilled settlers, many of which have already lined up employment before they arrived. There's a clear path to permanent residence and, five years after getting that, to citizenship.

That should make it easier for Australia to stay ahead of its rich world peers in economic growth.

that's why Australia is not in so worry for under population of their country

Answer 2

Australia has one of the lowest population densities in the world. With a low population of 23 million and a land area of over 7.6 million km² its density is around 3 people per km². This is very low compared to the Monoco, the most densely populated area in the world with 26150 people per km².

Australia is rich in natural resources with large reserves of natural gas, oil, gold, uranium and metal ores. Uranium is important in the development of nuclear power around the world. Australia attracts migrant workers to support the exploitation of these natural resources. Australia has the 9th highest immigrant population in the world with 6.7 million, which makes up 28.2% of its population.
