Reasons for leaving permanently
It has been argued that, for Australian-born persons, emigration is more likely to be a result of increasing internationalisation of labour markets and increasing global demand for skilled workers.
Melbourne's population was 4,875,400 at the country's most recent census in 2021, while there were 18,700 fewer people in Sydney, according to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) which returns Melbourne to the mantle of Australia's most populous city, a title it last held in 1905.
Most of Australia's 19 million people live near the coast, because the inner parts are made up of deserts. 80% of the country's population live in the south-eastern part of the country. Here you can also find the big cities like Sydney and Melbourne, or the capital Canberra.
The most popular retiree destinations for Australians include New Zealand, Italy, Greece, Spain and Portugal.
The majority of European Australians are of British Isles – English, Irish, Scottish, or Welsh – ancestral origin. While not an official ancestral classification, they are often referred to as Anglo-Celtic Australians.
Australian English arose from a dialectal melting pot created by the intermingling of early settlers who were from a variety of dialectal regions of Great Britain and Ireland, though its most significant influences were the dialects of Southeast England.
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.
The estimated resident population in Australia is expected to go from 25.7 million on June 30, 2021, to 29.9 million by June 30, 2033.
People who immigrate to Australia have access to its excellent education system, which includes several of the world's best institutions for higher education. There are also great employment opportunities available to eligible skilled foreign workers who move to Australia.
Thousands of Britons emigrate to Australia every year in search of a better life, but now more and more are deciding down under is not for them and returning home. The same trend seems to be happening to Australians deserting the UK.
New Zealand was the number-one destination for Australians who were either holidaying or visiting family and friends. No doubt this was a welcome return for the New Zealand tourism industry, where Australians previously made up 40 per cent of annual international arrivals each year.
