Part II Benefits of Migrating to Australia
Australia remains attractive, with a net inflow of 10,000 high-net-worth immigrants last year; the US came in second. The report says a key reason for Australia's attraction is its geographical proximity to Asia, which makes it easy to do business with emerging market countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Vietnam.
Another factor is safety, with Australia rated as a safe country for female travelers and a safe place for children. The report says "Australia's strong growth over the past 10 years has undoubtedly had an impact on confidence and business opportunities. Total wealth held in Australia has grown by 83% over the last 10 years, compared to just 20% in the US. As a result, the average Australian is now far wealthier than the average US citizen, which was not the case 10 years ago."
Among the top 10 destinations for immigrants, Australia and Canada have relatively low population densities compared to other countries. Lower population density means less reliance on trade and resources, less competition for national resources, less waste and pollution, and more natural space to improve the quality of life for locals. Of course, Australia also has a lot of unique advantages long life expectancy Although Australia has a large area, but the population is not a lot of people, only about 24.42 million people, that is, the population of a Beijing Municipality. However, the life expectancy of Australians is 82 years, much higher than the average life expectancy of Americans, which is 78.7 years.
Australia's medical technology is well developed, and the healthcare system is also very good. Australia has implemented universal healthcare since 1975, and as long as you are an Australian citizen, you can enjoy advanced healthcare services. Australia is ranked fourth in the world in the Global Healthy Nations Index. In addition, Australia's superior natural environment has also become an important factor in the long life expectancy of Australians. With good air and water, people naturally live longer. Therefore, Australia can be said to be an ideal place for many people to retire.
High per capita income According to the statistics some time ago, the average annual salary of Australians reached 81,235 Australian dollars, equivalent to about 410,000 yuan, which is 1.8% higher than the previous year, enough to rank in the world's top ten. The average annual salary can reach such a level, the income of Australians can be imagined. The good employment situation is not only a high annual income, Australian bosses are also perhaps the most reluctant to fire people in the world. the employment rate of Australians aged between 15 and 64 has reached 72%, higher than that of the United States, which is 67%. An average Aussie only has to work 216 days a day in an eight-hour workday, and nearly 37% of the days in the year are vacation days. Compared to working overtime on weekdays, working overtime on double holidays, and working overtime on holidays, the average number of days worked in a year reaches 251 days of Chinese people, the work of Australians is simply not too easy.
The high level of education and migration to Australia is not only beneficial to yourself, but also paves a smooth path for the growth of the next generation. According to a global education ranking, Australia's education is ranked second in the world. Compulsory education in Australia lasts from the age of 6 until the age of 15, while 11 universities are on the list of the top 500 universities in the world. Children growing up in such an environment can enjoy a more comprehensive education. One of the best things about housing in Australia is that you don't just buy a house, you also own the land. Almost all single-family houses are equipped with yards, where you can plant flowers and grass as you like. In addition, the average Australian owns 2.3 rooms, a figure that far exceeds that of the United States. High degree of urbanizationAustralia's agriculture is highly mechanized and developed, but the level of urbanization is equally high. According to statistics, 90% of Australians live in cities, and while enjoying the convenience of city life, they can also drive to the countryside on weekends and vacations, which is very enjoyable.
