Abstract
The population of Australia is growing at a faster rate than of any other country in the developed world. Some of this growth is due to natural increase but immigration already accounts for more than half; it will make an ever larger relative contribution as natural increase slowly declines towards the year 2031. If we continue to add migrants at the present rate we will add an extra ten million people over the next forty years: two million from natural increase, eight million from immigration.
