A country with few immigrants.

For many countries, the bigger the territory, the better. Far away, it depends on the current situation in Japan. They can't wait to fill the sea with people. However, this is absolutely ironic for Australia, because since the founding of the People's Republic of China 300 years ago, they have maintained a state of "big country" with a large population and few land, so that the outside world always regards them as facts.

How big is Australia? At present, the average population density is only 3.2 people per square kilometer.

As a "big country" in the southern hemisphere, Australia is absolutely second to none, because it is the only country in the world that takes the whole land as its own. And this laid the foundation for Australia's "big": a full 7.69 million square kilometers.

Don't say that small countries in Southeast Asia are afraid of this area, even our country can't underestimate it. This area is so large that it almost engulfs the whole of Oceania.

It is said that Australia itself accounts for 85.7% of the total area of Oceania. Isn't it amazing? Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Australia is a big country, and people deserve it.

However, the size of Australia lies only in its land area. If they want to talk about population, they will have a guilty conscience. Why? It's too simple, because the total population of Australia is only 25 million. What kind of reality is this? To put it bluntly, the total population of their country is equivalent to that of our city, such as Shanghai.

Is this too hard to imagine? Is it too lonely to have such a big piece of land and so many people? Well, if Australians really live in the same area, they will really go crazy. Very easy to understand. There are only three people per square kilometer, and four people are less than one. You have to visit and talk for a day, but you can't take a taxi.

What's it like not knowing? That's true. A big country like ours is used to going out at ordinary times, and there are so many people. How can we imagine this sense of emptiness? Anyway, to tell the truth, the population density of our country is 144.3 per square kilometer. Is it overloaded?

Of course, there are also some sparsely populated areas in our country, such as Tibet, where the population density is extremely low, that is, less than three people per square kilometer. And this is similar to Australia. So imagine again, can you understand that Australia is always said to be sparsely populated?

Speaking of it, Australia is also a headache. The land area is so large, but the population is pitiful. According to the land area, it can rank in the top ten in the world (according to statistics, it is the sixth country). Can it be calculated by population? That's a sin. Australia's ranking has been squeezed out of the 50th place, and they are not seen at all.

This is really worrying. How can no one grow and develop? Even if more people move bricks, it will create some economic benefits for the country, right? Of course, maybe Australia doesn't have to move bricks by hand. After all, people are rich countries. This finally comforted Australia. If there are few people and the country is poor, then there is really nothing to mix.

Why is the population of Australia always so small? There is a reason for this. You will understand in 300 years.

However, people always want to know why a country like Australia has such a small population. Is their family planning policy too strict? Come on, they didn't say that. On the contrary, in Australia, as long as you are willing, it is good to be born, and the state strongly supports it.

Poor people can't afford to live? It doesn't exist. Australia has great subsidies for poor families. Of course, for a rich country, there are not many poor families. But even if you are not poor, other countries have subsidies, such as weekly per capita welfare. It is said that a child receives no less than 200 yuan's allowance every week from birth to eighteen.

But why can't Australia develop a population? I'm afraid we have to find the reason from history. As we all know, Australia was a colony 300 years ago and was under British jurisdiction. Before that, Australia was a fertile land, covered with grasslands, deserts and forests.

Of course, some people live there, but they are all aborigines with a total population of about 300,000. These aborigines gathered in every corner of Australia and then formed different tribes. Anyway, the place is big and there are few people, so there is no problem of grabbing territory. As long as they can hunt and fish, they can survive.

But then Britain took a fancy to this fertile land and made them its own colony. The best things here became British, the aborigines were driven away and killed, and the remaining aborigines became slaves of the colonists.

Obviously, this reality has greatly reduced the number of Australian local residents in those years, especially making it more difficult to breed. These aborigines were suppressed by the colonists and their lives were too low. Getting married and having children is not a luxury. Even if they do, there is little hope of survival. Therefore, the population is decreasing instead of increasing. Where can there be so many people?

In addition, there is another reason, which is the environmental problem in Australia. At that time, more than half, or more than two thirds, of Australia's land was in a state of drought and semi-drought.

Such an environment is not suitable for human survival. Before the colonists came in, there were not many indigenous people scattered in areas with relatively good water resources and good land conditions, so they could live well.

But when the colonists came, these indigenous people were driven away and entered the forest or desert, and naturally they could not survive. Although Australia has been independent for many years, the coastal areas are still livable, and other places are not optimistic.

So it is obvious that although Australia has developed for 300 years, it is still difficult to increase its population. However, their immigration is quite large, which is also a major way for Australia to increase its population. However, due to racist policies, the population growth in Australia today has been affected. Therefore, Australia can only continue to worry about its own population density.
