Australia, Developed or not?
Australia is a developing country due to its economy, its citizens lifestyles and its ratings in the human development index.
In 2017 Australia exported 243 billion dollars in goods, to China, Japan, South Korea, India, Hong Kong and More(1). Australia also imported 199 billion dollars in goods from the United States of America, China, Thailand, Japan, South Korea and more(1). Making their trading balance 44 billion dollars (1). If the commonwealth of Australia was not sustainable enough to support themselves, why would they trade 243 billion dollars in goods that could be used to support themselves, why would they be giving away more than they are requiring, all of these things prove they are developed more than enough to support themselves but to help others develop as well. As of 2017 Australia also has a gross domestic product of 1,126,000,000,000 and a gross national product of 1,323,000,000,000 (2) an astonishing 300 times Sierra Leones gross domestic product of 3,774,000,000 and 100 times Sierra Leones gross national product of 11,200,000,000 (2) The commonwealth of Australia dates back to 1901 when the 6 colonies of Australia past legislation to separate from the British rule,(3) as they no longer needed help from the British to sustain themselves if they did why would they sovereign from the British army, economy, resources and more. These high economic standards all contribute to the Australian citizen’s ways of life.
98.8% of the urban population of Australia has access to drinking water(5) and 100% of the population has access to electricity(9), if almost the whole population has access to drinkable water and electricity, where in countries such as South Sudan, only 5.1% of the population has electricity(10), how can Australia not be developed. Considering that 98.8% of urban Australians had access to clean water, not as many deaths would be caused by waterborne diseases and less overall deaths, Australia has a death rate of 464/day (6)with the leading causes of death being Coronary heart disease, Alzheimer’s/Dementia, Stroke, Lung cancer, Prostate cancer, Breast cancer, Colon-rectum cancer, Diabetes mellitus and suicide. (7) Cancer, diabetes, strokes and Alzheimer’s/dementia are genetic diseases caused by DNA mutations, (11) (12)(13) most in which are caused by the environment and Australia’s conditions, other than suicide. (11) The birth rate in Australia ranks at 1,030/ day (6) and only 4.2/1,000 infants die (7). Similar to health care here in Canada, Australian health care is free (14) This may be the reason in which birth and death rates are so good or the fact that life expectancy rates are as high as 82.9 years, ranking Australia 6th among all countries of the world. With such long, quality lives Australians have lots of time to study and educate themselves, to be exact Australian students have an estimated 23 years of education (9) Resulting in a 99% literacy rate among the population (7) and 80% of citizens aged 25 to 64 have completed post-secondary education. High-quality lifestyle, health care, and education all factor into the human development index.
The human development index breaks down and ranks countries in several categories. One in witch is Poverty, All subcategories in Australia’s poverty category are rated as n.a (9), the human development index also lists n.a under the child labour subcategory, this could possibly be because Australia has no poverty and no child labour. Employment rates in Australia are so great that there unemployment rate within the labour force of 5.7% is almost 20% higher than Mozambique’s unemployment rate of 25%. With the labour force growing the Australian government inputted a carbon pricing mechanism to reduce carbon emissions. (15) However carbon emissions in Australia have reached 15.4 tonnes per capita(9), resulting in a household air pollution mortality rate of 8.4/per 100,000(9). As mentioned earlier 98.8% of the Australian population has access to drinking water this aids the 0.1/per 100,000 people mortality due to water quality rate. (9) Another subcategory revolving around the development of Australia includes human security, under the human security subject the human development index states that 151/100,000 people are inhabited in prisons(9). However considering when the British explorers inhabited Australia permanently for the first time, 11 vessels were sent over containing approximately 730 convicts and about 250 innocent civilians, meaning that almost 75% of the population was criminals. (3) Taking into account that today only 1% of the Australian population are prisoners and it used to be 75%, Australia’s government and society has developed to the point where citizens follow rules provided by the parliament and the parliament is able to contain is citizens actions. Australia also has a homicide rate of 0.9/per 100,000 (9)people which is also proof that Australia has developed a lot scene the settlement of the British. Lastly, the Australian male suicide rates of 15.3/100,000 are 3 times the Australian female suicide rates of 5.6/100,000(9).
