COMPONENTS OF POPULATION CHANGE
The growth of Australia’s population is comprised of natural increase (the number of births minus the number of deaths) and net overseas migration (*NOM). Net Overseas Migration figure is worked out by the Australians or Permanent residents leaving Australia to live abroad v the incoming overseas migrants coming in across all visas including 417/462 working holiday visas that stay for a period longer than 12 months or more within a 16 month period.
Please remember the majority of people who can physically leave any country and move to another must be highly qualified to be able to obtain a work visa in the country they are going to. We lose highly skilled individuals every year overseas so sometimes the immigration program is just re filling the bucket of skilled people we have lost.
