Which is better, Australian immigrants or American immigrants?

The United States and Australia are both popular countries for immigrants, so which is better, Australian immigrants or American immigrants? Let me give you an analysis, hoping to give you a reference.

Salary &; poverty

If you live in the United States, you will get higher pay for professional jobs and lower pay for minimum wage jobs.

You will also find it more difficult to find a job in America. The unemployment rate in the United States is almost twice that in Australia, and the pay gap between men and women is even wider. The average salary of Australian women is 83. 1% of that of men, while that of American women is only 77% of that of men.

On the other hand, you may earn more money in America. According to the data of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), in 2008, the median household income in the United States was $37,690, while the median household income in Australia was only $27,039 after conversion according to the purchasing power parity theory. (At that time, the Australian dollar was only equivalent to 0.6 US dollars, and now it is10.05 US dollars.)

However, you may be more likely to fall into poverty in America. According to the United Nations human poverty index, 65,438+02.2% of Australians earn less than half of the median. Among American citizens, the proportion of people in the same class or with lower income reaches 17%.

emigrant

Australia and the United States have similar immigration history. But now in the United States, your chances of meeting foreign-born people are half lower than in Australia. Only/kloc-0.2% of Americans were born overseas, while more than one fifth of Australians (27%) were born overseas. For every 65,438+0,000 people in Australia, the number of net immigrants increased to 6.03, almost two more than that in the United States (4. 18).

education

Most Americans only graduate from high school, while Australians study longer.

The average education time of Australians is 2 1 year (from primary school to university), far exceeding that of Americans. But as the above data shows, more Americans over the age of 25 finish high school.

According to the data of American census, 38.54% of American citizens over the age of 25 have obtained college or undergraduate education. Before 2006, more than 59% of Australians obtained a diploma or bachelor's degree from a higher education institution.

If you receive higher education in the United States, the cost will be higher. The average tuition fee of private independent colleges is 205 17 yuan per year, while that of Australia is only 7902 yuan.

medical treatment

The per capita medical expenses in the United States are higher than those in Australia, but many American citizens still have to bear unnecessary expenses. In 2007, 62% people filed for bankruptcy because of high medical expenses.

In the total medical expenditure of the United States, the government subsidizes 18.7%, and the Australian government contributes 70%. The five major causes of death of citizens of the two countries are the same, and the death rate of cancer in the two countries is similar, but the average number of deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases is 1.3 times higher. Among the 654.38 million+people in the United States, the number of deaths due to respiratory diseases is almost 60% higher than that in Australia.

If you live in the United States, your risk of contracting HIV/AIDS is twice that of the general population. The proportion of Americans suffering from this disease is 0.6%, while that of Australia is 0.3%. There are 2.999 doctors per/kloc-0.000 Australians, which is higher than 2.672 in the United States.
