Pandemic blows 穴を開ける in Australia 全住民 goal but 移住 回復するing

SYDNEY, Jan 6 (Reuters) - The COVID pandemic has blown a million-person 穴を開ける in Australia's 全住民 発射/推定s in a challenge for an economy that has relied on having more 消費者s to 運動 growth, though a 迅速な 回復 in 移住 約束s to 軟化する the blow.

Data in the 政府's 2022 全住民 声明 out on Friday also showed COVID-19 lowered life 見込み for the first time in 10年間s, though the 衝撃 in Australia was modest compared to many of its developed world peers.

Pandemic 国境 終結s in 2020 and 2021 saw 全住民 growth 噴火口,クレーター to just 0.1%, far below the 1.6% 普通の/平均(する) of the previous 10年間, while 逮捕する 移住 turned 消極的な for the first time since World War Two.

One result has been a 普及した 不足 of suitable 労働 and a 減少(する) in the 失業率 to a 48-year low of 3.4%, 押し進めるing up 給料 and 追加するing to inflationary 圧力s.

全住民 growth is 推定する/予想するd to 回復する to 1.4% in the year to June 2023 and 持つ/拘留する around there in coming years, but that would still mean there will be 1.2 million いっそう少なく Australians by 2032/33 than 予測(する) before the pandemic.

The 全住民 will also 結局最後にはーなる older than 事業/計画(する)d, with the median age seen at 39.8 years by 2030/31 compared to the 38.4 years 予測(する) pre-pandemic.

Fortunately for 失望させるd 雇用者s, 逮捕する 移住 is 回復するing faster than first 恐れるd and is 推定する/予想するd to match the pre-pandemic 傾向 of 235,000 a year in 2022/23, a major turnaround from 2020/21 when there was a 逮捕する outflow of 85,000.

The 回復する has been led by international students, with ビザ 認めるs last year running at the highest since 2006, the 報告(する)/憶測 showed.

"However, the 回復 in 移住 is not 推定する/予想するd t o fully 相殺する the lost 全住民 growth during the pandemic, with Australia 推定する/予想するd to remain smaller and older than would have さもなければ been the 事例/患者," the 報告(する)/憶測 結論するd. (報告(する)/憶測ing by Wayne Cole; Editing by Christian Schmollinger)
