Australia
In 2010, Australia had a population of 22 342 398: 11 124 254 males and 11 218 144 females. Most of the population is concentrated along the eastern seaboard and the south-eastern corner of the continent. It is one of the world’s most urbanized countries, with around 89% of Australians living in urban areas. Australia’s population density of 2.9 people per square kilometre varies greatly across the country, being very low in remote areas and very high in inner-city areas. Australia's population grew by 1.7% between June 2009 and June 2010, with 57% of that increase due to net overseas migration and 43% due to natural increase (302 200 births and 140 600 deaths). Between 1961 and 2001, Australia’s total fertility rate declined from 3.6 babies per woman to 1.7. The fertility rate for Australian women in 2009 was 1.9 babies per woman. Australia’s population is ageing, with the number of people aged 65 years or more projected to increase from 3 million in 2010 to 8.1 million in 2050; an increase from 13.5% to 22.7% of the total population.
Life expectancy at birth is 81.6 years (79.3 for men and 83.9 for women), one of the highest in the world. Gains in Australia have been primarily due to reduced child and maternal mortality in the early decades of the last century, and improved longevity for other ages, particularly for older people with chronic diseases. Despite the ageing of the population over the last 20 years, crude death rates have declined overall. In 1989, the crude death rate was 7.4 deaths per 1000 population, decreasing to 6.4 deaths per 1000 population in 2009. After adjusting for changes in the age structure of the population, the standardized death rate (SDR) has shown consistent decreases over the past 20 years. In 1999, the SDR was 9.1 deaths per 1000 standard population, decreasing to 5.7 deaths per 1000 standard population in 2009 (an overall decrease of 37%). However, the overall mortality rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders is twice the rate for non-Indigenous Australians.
