The life expectancy of 2010 is higher than the life expectancy of 1990, the death rate and the infant deaths are lower in 2010 than in 1990 and Australia moved from a stage 3 moving to a stage 4 country because of the medical care facilities are improved and the living conditions are better nowadays.

Whereas the Western Australia, Northern Territory and South Australia is less populated than Queensland and New South Wales, and has only other 100 people living other there. There is more people living in the east of the country because there is a good climate, no extreme cyclones or droughts, there is most of the cities found in the east of the country therefore, there is better job opportunities, and for other

    The infant Mortality rate is somewhat useful as an indicator of development. Infant mortality rate is measured as the number of children who die before the age of 1 per 1,000 live births per year. This age group is incredibly venerable and Reilly on others for their survival and therefore high rates can indicate low standard of living with poor hygiene, anti natal and post natal care, vaccinations and specialist medical…

    Australia’s Migration Policies and how they have changed over time. With a focus on the period since 1945 Migration laws in Australia have been updated and changed notably post World War II. These changes have affected Australia's political scene and economical value immensely since the 1940s and continue to have an effect today. The Australian population heavily fluctuated in the 1940s, taking citizens in at a capacity that was entirely new for Australia. Migration laws today have changed a considerable amount since then, with Australia ever evolving and adapting to the foreseeable needs of the nation.…

    The Queensland area, on paper, would be the most desirable area to relocate to. A factor in this decision for me is the fact that I am a certified scuba diver and the location is on the doorstep of the most amazing location to dive in the world, The Great Barrier Reef. Listen up here, this reef extends over 1600 mile long and contains over 3000 clusters of individual reefs (http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0101/feature2/). If you're familiar how to use it, Google earth it, simply amazing. The culture in Australia is very similar to that of the United States, there is a very diverse range of people from all over the world. The Australian people are fond of the " barby" when they cook. There cooking style stem form the days of the British and English rule, meat and potatoes are commonly found the diner table, which is completely fine in my book. There is a presence of sporting events in the every day way of life, not to the extent of the Americans but its there. They are particularly interested in the Australia rules football and Rugby. Australia's premier summer sport is cricket. They also enjoy many other sports, such as tennis, netball, soccer, golf, and basketball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Australia). Gambling is a pastime of many, and horse racing and greyhound racing are popular sports for this…

    In Sociology there are numerous theories that we use to explain, analyze and define populations, one of these theories being the Demographic Transition Theory, developed primarily by Warren Thompson of Sweden. This theory was initially used to trace the transition of European society’s population from primitive communism to nineteenth century capitalism it dealt with demographic and social change throughout the European historical landscape. According to Jackson and Hudman (1986) the rate of population growth in some countries, particularly industrialized ones, followed a pattern of increase and then decline. The experience of rapid population growth rates is referred to as demographic transition. The demographic transition theory consists of four stages: Stage one the High Fluctuating where the birth and death rate are high, Stage two the Early Expanding period of industrialization where birth rate remains the same but death rates fall dramatically, Stage three the Late Expanding cultural and economic factors influence population change and Stage four the Low Fluctuating both birth and death rate are low negative population growth occurs. These stages can be applied to many European and industrialized societies for example Great Britain and France.…
