In this topic you will learn...

Chapter 1 : Family size and the age of Australians

The size and composition of Australian families has undergone rapid change with implications for future economic and social policy
Fertility rates have declined, however the decline has slowed in recent years and is now relatively stable
Australia`s current low levels of fertility are linked to partnering, and hence childbirth, occurring at later ages than in the past
Fewer available reproductive years for Australian women have resulted in the increased risk of lifetime childlessness
Increased childlessness may reflect the increasing pursuit of freedom and autonomy, education pressures and the increased participation of women in Australia`s workforce

Chapter 3 : Where Australians live and will live
