A comprehensive and detailed analysis of the controversial debate about Australia's population numbers.
This book clarifies the subject, as the debate has been confused by serious misconceptions. It provides an historic account of Australia's population growth and an analysis of the data. It looks at the components of the growth, such as birth rates and immigration, as well as the more recent trend of our ageing population. It also analyses the motives of different interested parties, both those who promote population growth and those who argue against it.
Bigger or Better? makes the complex and controversial issues around population accessible to general readers and will contribute to public debate about this important topic.
