Australia has an average population density of 3.4 persons per square kilometre of total land area, which makes it one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. This is generally attributed to the semi-arid and desert geography of much of the interior of the country.
' This severe labour shortage is occurring with unemployment in August at a near 48-year low of 3.5 per cent. The cost of living crisis is occurring as a weaker Australian dollar threatens to make imports more expensive.
One in four Australians, 25.1 per cent, are finding it difficult to get by on their current income, new analysis from The Australian National University (ANU) shows.

It's one of the fastest moving plates if you look at it horizontally. It moves at around seven centimetres per year, she said. “But vertically there is a problem. Historical data suggests that it should be uplifting by about a millimetre per year, but the data that we've got suggests it's sinking.
Australia's population density is low because most of the country's interior is desert (also known as the outback) and presents extremely difficult living conditions.
More than 80 per cent of Australians live within the coastal zone.
Across Australia approximately 520,940 properties, or one in every 25, will be 'high risk', having annual damage costs from extreme weather and climate change that make them effectively uninsurable by 2030.
Australia is a friendly and accommodating country. The cities, especially, house a wide diversity of people from all over the globe. The outdoor lifestyle in the country encourages people to come together, whether around a barbecue, at sporting events or just at a gathering of like-minded individuals.

South Australia is home to one of the largest populations of senior citizens and retirees in Australia. Many of them can be found in Victor Harbor. About 60% of this coastal town's residents are over the age of 50.
Australia's older generation (those aged 65 and over) continues to grow in number and as a share of the population.
Among Australia's states and territories, Tasmania stands out as clearly the oldest, with over 20% aged 65+ and 8.4% aged 75+. The Northern Territory is the youngest, with only 8.0% aged 65+, partly due to the large indigenous population, which has a lower life expectancy.
The report predicts the population of Australia is expected to experience slower, but still positive, growth through the end of the century. According to a regional population estimate, Australia/New Zealand (lumped together) will reach 31 million in 2022, 34 million in 2030 and 38 million in 2050.
Visceral fat is a risk factor for coronary heart disease, the leading underlying cause of death for Australian men. Coronary heart disease, which results from a combination of biological factors and lifestyle habits, is a major reason for the difference in mortality between men and women.

At that point, the continents will merge and the Pacific Ocean will close, said the study, which was published in the journal National Science Review. According to the scientists' findings, the change will cause Australia to collide with Eurasia and move toward the Americas.
Dr Auld added while Australia is unlikely to hit a technical recession, that is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, it will feel like a recession for some. "I do think it would be possible to get a big enough lift in the unemployment rate such that, things felt a bit more recession-like."
Australia will enter a recession next year, German investment firm Deutsche Bank is predicting, following a forecast spike in unemployment. The bank's dire warning is based on a 1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate, rather than the 'technical' definition of a recession.
