will be 38 millionby 2050 and migration will be contributing$1,625 billion
(1.6 trillion) to Australia’s GDP.Moreover, migration will have added
15.7 per cent to our workforce participation rate
21.9 per cent to after tax real wages for lowskilled workers
5.9 per cent in GDP per capita growthOverall, by 2050,
each individual migrant will onaverage be contributing approximately

PS: Canada owes its position in the G7 to immigration, IMO,
because it grew its population via immigration more rapidly during our
"White Australia Policy" period.
