title: Fertility, migration, and the ageing of the population--an analysis of the official projections.
abstract: "As we move through the demographic transition, an older age structure is inevitable but future possible scenarios vary.... The paper analyses nine different population projections produced by the ABS [Australian Bureau of Statistics], four in 1996 and five in 1998. The highest projection...adds an extra ten million people by the year 2051 while the lowest...adds none."
