2INTRODUCTION
- For generations, the vast majority of immigrants
came from the British Isles, and the people of
Australia are still mainly of British or Irish
ethnic origin. - In the 2011 Australian census, the most commonly
nominated ancestry was English (36.1), followed
by Australian (35.4),Irish (10.4), Scottish
(8.9), Italian (4.6), German (4.5), Chinese
(4.3), Indian (2.0), Greek (1.9), and Dutch
(1.7). - Australia is the 52nd most populous country in
the world. Its population is concentrated mainly
in urban areas and is expected to exceed 28
million by 2030. - Australia's population has grown from an
estimated population of about 350,000 at the time
of British settlement in 1788 due to numerous
waves of immigration during the period since.
Also due to immigration, the European component
of the population is declining as a percentage. - Australia has fewer than three persons per
square kilometre of total land area. With 89.01
of its population living in urban areas,
Australia is one of the world's most urbanised
countries. - The life expectancy of Australia in 19992001
was 79.7 years, among the highest in the world. - In common with many other developed countries,
Australia is experiencing a demographic shift
towards an older population, with more retirees
and fewer people of working age. In 2004, the
average age of the civilian population was 38.8
years. A large number of Australians (759,849 for
the period 2002031 million or 5 of the total
population in 2005) live outside their home
country.
3Indigenous population
- The Indigenous populationAborigines and Torres
Strait Islanderswas counted at 548,370 (2.5 of
the total population) in 2011, a significant
increase from 115,953 in the 1976 census. The
increase is partly due to many people with
Indigenous heritage previously having been
overlooked by the census due to undercount and
cases where their Indigenous status had not been
recorded on the form. - Indigenous Australians experience higher than
average rates of imprisonment and unemployment,
lower levels of education, and life expectancies
for males and females that are, respectively, 11
and 17 years lower than those of non-indigenous
Australians. Some remote Indigenous communities
have been described as having "failed state"-like
conditions.

9Population growth rate
As of the end of September 2012, the population
growth rate was 1.7.This rate was based on
estimates of one birth every 1 minute and
44 seconds, one death every 3 minutes and
32 seconds, a net gain of one international
migrant every 2 minutes and 19 seconds leading
to an overall total population increase of one
person every 1 minute and 23 seconds. In 2009,
the estimated rates were Birth rate 12.47

12Ancestry of Australian population
At the 2011 Census residents were asked to
describe their ancestry, in which up to two could
be nominated. Proportionate to the Australian
resident population, the most commonly nominated
ancestries were
English (36.1) Australian (35.4) Irish (10.4) Scottish (8.9) Italian (4.6) German (4.5) Chinese (4.3) Indian (2.0) Greek (1.9) Dutch (1.7) New Zealander (Pakeha/Maori) Filipino Vietnamese Lebanese New Zealander (Pakeha) Polish Maltese Maori Australian Aboriginal Croatian Welsh
At the 2011 census, 53.7 of people had both
parents born in Australia and 34.3 of people had
both parents born overseas.
13Religion
- Australia is a religiously diverse country and it
has no official religion. - Christianity is the predominant faith of
Australia, though this is diminishing. In the
2011 census, 61.1 of the population classified
themselves as being affiliated with a Christian
faith, down from 67.3 ten years earlier at the
2001 census. - The largest religious denomination was Roman
Catholicism, with 25.3 of the population. - The next largest Christian denomination was
Anglican at 17.1, and all other Christian
denominations accounted for a further 18.7 of
the population. - The second-largest group, and the one which had
grown the fastest, was the 22.3 who claimed to
have no religion. Over the ten years since the
2001 census, this group grew from 15.3 to 22.3
of the population an increase of 7, which was
the largest change of any religious
classification in that period. - Minority religions practised in Australia include
Buddhism (2.5 of the population), Islam (2.2),
Hinduism (1.3) and Judaism (0.5). The Census
question about religion is optional, and 8.6 of
people did not respond in the 2011 census.
