What is the population distribution of Australia? Australian

Australia is a typical immigrant country and is described by sociologists as a "platter of nations". Since the day British immigrants set foot on this beautiful land, immigrants from 120 countries and 140 ethnic groups have come to Australia to make a living and develop. For example, Germany, Greece, Italy in Europe and some Asian countries and regions, such as Japan, China, Taiwan and Vietnam. Its population is mainly distributed in the southeastern coastal areas. Multiculturalism formed by multiple ethnic groups is a distinctive feature of Australian society. According to statistics, Australia's Asian population is growing rapidly.

Australia’s earliest Aboriginal people now account for less than 1% of the total population. In the 2006 census, white people accounted for 92%. The ancestors of most Australians are British immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries, and there are also many people from other countries. There were 37.13 people who described themselves as Australian, followed by English Australians at 31.65, Irish Australians at 9.08, Scottish Australians at 7.56, Italian Australians at 4.29, German Australians at 4.09, Chinese at 3.37 and Greek at 1.84. According to data from the Australian Immigration Service, the top three overseas birthplaces of Australian citizens in 2006 were: the United Kingdom (1,153,264), New Zealand (476,719) and Italy (220,469). 63.9% of the residents believe in Christianity, and 5.9% believe in Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism and Judaism. The population with no religious beliefs or unknown religious beliefs accounts for 30.2%.

On November 1, 2009, the population of Australia was 22.039500. In June 2013, the population reached approximately 23.05 million. Among them, 74 are of British and Irish descent, 5 are Asians, 2.7 are indigenous residents, and 18.8 are from other ethnic groups. English is the official language. About 63.9% of the residents believe in Christianity, and 5.9% believe in other religions such as Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism. The population with no religious beliefs or unknown religious beliefs accounts for 30.2%.

On February 13, 2013, Australia officially recognized Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first generation residents of Australia. This is a transitional bill prepared by Australia to amend the constitution to recognize indigenous Australians. From the early 20th century to the early 1970s, the Australian government implemented the White Australia Policy, which believed that the indigenous people were inferior and ignorant. They forcibly took away their children to be raised by white people or sent them to white schools for boarding, hoping to assimilate the indigenous people. Those Aboriginal children who were taken away became known as the "Stolen Generations."
