DESCRIPTION

This publication presents information on the demographic characteristics of the Australian population. It describes Australia's population growth and distribution, its changing age structure, patterns of fertility and mortality, and overseas and interstate migration. It also explores the interactions that occur between these elements. The publication focuses on changes in the size and composition of the population that have occurred throughout the century, particularly the last 20 years. It examines the changes that are likely to occur in the first half of the twenty-first century. It also features the demographic changes that have occurred in Australia's Indigenous population and explores the demographic differences between the States and Territories, and between regions.

In addition to the analysis of demographic changes, this publication provides a comprehensive set of demographic data for every year since 1901 for each State and Territory.
