re refugee admission into Australia, consider our sub-replacement total fertility rate (TFR) means we need refugees to avoid deflation (because shrinking population = shrinking economy).
PS: I tried to back-of-the-envelope calculate how many people we need to take in to avoid population decline. Replacement TFR is 2.1 for developed nations. Australia's TFR is 1.8. So the shortfall is 0.3 babies per Australian woman's reproductive life. Menarch to menopause is about 13yo to 50yo, or 37 years. Australia's population is about 25M. I can't quickly work out how to find the area of the population pyramid, so let's just assume exactly 50% are female (12.5M). So by my reading, to avoid population decline (and thus economic deflation), we need to take in... (2.1 babies/woman's reproductive life - 1.8 babies/woman's reproductive life) × 12.5M Australian women ÷ 37 years reproductive life = 16M refugees or immigrants per generation = 440K refugees or immigrants per year Or if you prefer 16M refugees or immigrants per generation ÷ 25M australians = 0.65 refugees or immigrants per australian per generation In other words, every 3 Australians need to take in 2 refugees in their lifetime. (Which sounds about right if we look at our original 0.3/woman and double it to get 0.6/australian.)
