vehicles in Australia

7. Reflect on how the population has changed from 1901 to 2015. Focus on the total
population, Number of births, Life expectancy and the median age. What is the
current poplation of Australia (Word Limit: 300 400 words)

So, what I think or should I say got from the population of 1901 is 3,773,801 and I
think that the population in 2015 is 23,968,973 and that is a massive difference in
time and population because they have change by 20195172 and I think that is a very
big change. Another thing is how I worked that out I had done that very easilly, so
first I had put the 2015 population together and then minused it by the 1901 year
population and then that is ho I got my answer. I think that I Australia has grown a lot
because it has grown by almost 21 million people and that is just really a big change.
And right now the current population of Australia is 24 million and that is really
going well So that is what I think about this part of the task

Thank you
