Population

Australia's growing population and ageing demographic is an area that generates public concern. It's a relevant issue that often intersects with a wide range of other areas including healthcare, immigration, infrastructure provision, and government service delivery.

CEDA has undertaken a significant research project into the issues surrounding Australia's population. The research project, A Greater Australia: Population, Policies and Governance, details the linkages between population, migration, economy, society and the environment.

As part of this project CEDA engaged key thought leaders to address governance failures that underpin popular concerns about population growth and will put forward a series of innovative policy reforms.

A Greater Australia: Population, Policies and Governance, under the editorship of Professor Jonathan Pincus and Graeme Hugo, examined policies relating to ageing, retirement and health, as well as alternative infrastructure and urban planning frameworks.
