> 1. Immigration. Hm... I think in Australia this is old news and doesn't even deserve a mention on a paper talking about future trends... every year Australia gets hundreds of thousands of immigrants, mostly highly skilled people, and this has been going on for several decades (see https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/AUS/australia/immigration-statistics https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/AUS/australia/immigrat... - "migrant population" has gone from 1.7 million in 1960 to almost 7 million in 2015, or 28% of the total population...)! Australia used to advertise heavily for people to come to study and work in Australia (not sure if that's still going on lately... I myself migrated there decades ago but left since - though may come back one day).
