Australia has above average population growth!

In 2008, Australia’s population growth rate was 1.7 percent for the year. This is almost 50 percent higher than the world average of 1.2 percent per year. Below is the population growth of Australia compared to that of some other countries. A detailed breakdown of what constitutes this above average population growth, how much is because of immigration or reproduction, will be discussed in a later post. The high population growth is a major contributing factor of Australia’s strong economy.
