DESCRIPTION
More than half of Australia's growth can be attributed to net overseas migration, which is filling our skills shortages. The United Kingdom and New Zealand dominate our migrant lists, but we are culturally diverse. We're also growing through natural increase, with our nation going through a record baby boom and increased longevity rates. We're seeing changes in household types, we have an ageing population, but we're growing. And it's easy to see why... because while Australia comes 52nd in population and 6th in land mass, it's the number 1 place to live!!
