  • Your Shortcut to... Managing Australia's Population

    Your Shortcut to... Managing Australia's Population
    May 1 2024
    In this Shortcut, we’re talking about people—specifically, the number of people in Australia and who they are… We’ll also look at how our population is changing and the need to prepare for an older Australia. Our population is crucial to Australia’s economic growth and continued development, but these issues are tricky to manage, often costly, and politically controversial… Squiz recommends: Reading: The 2023 Population Statement has heaps of detail about Australia's population if you like a deep dive... Watching: This video story from the ABC about the extreme measures Japan is taking to counteract its ageing/increasingly urbanised population. Want the email version?
