A groundbreaking analysis of Australia's population shock and its economic consequences.

How will Australia navigate the challenges of population ageing, declining fertility rates, and increasing social inequality? Abul Rizvi, a leading expert in immigration policy, offers a compelling analysis of these critical issues and their impact on Australia's economic future.

Population Shock examines:

The four stages of the population shock and their alignment with the baby boomer life cycle.
The economic consequences of population ageing, including slower growth, rising government debt, and increased inequality.
The role of immigration policy in mitigating the effects of population ageing.

Discover how Australia can chart a sustainable economic future in the face of these demographic challenges. This book is essential reading for economists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of Australia.

About the Author

Abul is an economics and public policy graduate from the Australian National University and recently completed a PhD in population and immigration policy. From 1995 to 2007, he managed Australia’s migration program. He commissioned research on the demographic, economic and budgetary impact of immigration that was extensively used in policy development, including Australia’s first Intergenerational Report in 2002. This research led to major policy changes to boost Australia’s international education industry, skilled temporary migration and working holiday-makers as a pathway to an expanded permanent migration program. This slowed population ageing in Australia and made it a demographic outlier among developed nations – younger, more diverse and growing faster. Abul was awarded the Public Service Medal and the Centenary Medal for services to the development of Australian immigration policy. He is a frequent media commentator on population and immigration and their impact on Australia’s economic direction.
