Episode description
Australia has always been a nation of immigrants with an incredible one in ten of us arriving in just the last decade.
However, thanks to Covid-19 our migration rate has gone from near record levels to almost zero. Combined with a falling birth rate, for the first time in a century, Australia's population is set to fall. The economic and cultural fallout will be profound.
In this episode we explore just what challenges we'll face and how we can overcome them once the pandemic has passed.
Featuring:
Dr Liz Allen, Australian National University’s Centre for Social Research and Methods
Abul Rizvi, former Immigration Department Deputy Secretary
