There is an rising demand in Australia for health workers. This shortage is caused by a number of factors relating to supply versus demand (Duckett, 2005). The population is ageing, a combination of lifestyle and environmental factors are increasing the burden of disease and causing a greater strain on the health workforce. The types of diseases associated with these factors are contributing to a requirement for particular skill mixes within the workforce. Due to an international shortage of health care professionals, Australia is competing worldwide to increase its own workforce.
"Global birthrates are falling. But with many in their fertile years and political and cultural forces against contraception, the population explosion is far from over." (LA times) How do we solve a global crisis, that should be solving itself? Birthrates are declining, and yet the population rises. Overpopulation is obviously multifaceted, and it cannot be completely solved by a declining birth rate as states the quote above.
One of the main impacts of spatial inequality is the increase in poverty among particular groups such as Indigenous people, ethnic groups and females. A survey was taken in 2013, showing that 2.8 million people in Australia were living in poverty. Consequently, the lack of education means that there will be fewer job opportunities for people, resulting in low income and individuals find it hard to pay off taxes, bills etc. Many citizens are affected by spatial inequality, especially the lower paid. They struggle to sustain themselves and live in poverty as a result of the increase of spatial inequality.
Westward expansion brought about negative change in America. From economic troubles to harsh stereotypes, expansion has brought more harm than good. Expansion began with the unfair treatment of Native Americans in the 1800s, and lead to economic hardships such as the contamination of groundwater as a result of hydraulic fracturing. Westward Expansion affected the Native Americans’ freedom, safety, and their economy. This is important because although new settlers were gifted with new land and resources, Westward Expansion resulted in controversial disagreements and even more hardships.

This country was formed by immigrants from all over the world, and yet, many citizens are attempting to close the doors to most people who are still trying to reap some of the benefits the United States of America has to offer. The United States as a whole, as well as the originating countries, has benefited from the effects of immigration. While some of the effects have been considered detrimental to the US, the benefits far outweigh the detriments. This subject has been one of concern for quite some time, with no real resolution.
Introduction The immigration of people into the United States has affected the country socially, politically and economically. In the U.S., whose population is made up mainly of immigrants and their offspring, immigration has recently become a hot button issue because of the increasing number of immigrants coming into the U.S., many of them illegally. One of the biggest critiques that opponents of immigration use to back their opinion is the view that immigrants cause unemployment and lower wages for the natives. There are economists and sociologists that agree and disagree with this comment. This paper will look at what some researchers have found and will try to figure out the effect that immigration has had on the living standard of U.S. workers.
Venezuela depends on imports for many products. The government has restricted assess to the US dollar therefore increasing the values of there own products. Since assess to the US dollar has been restricted without government permission manufactured goods can no longer enter the country, therefore causing a shortage and prices to rise.

We’re the only Native Americans here.”(Ramos Z 2013) Are the Americans that don’t support open borders scared, because they don’t want what happened to the Native Americans,
Should the population growth of a country be controlled in anyway? FIL | | | The rate at which population of the world is growing is alarming; the world’s population growth rate is 1.17 percent and total world population is closing on 7 billion people in 2010. The world’s population will soon reach a level where there will not be enough resources to sustain life. Growth must be checked to avoid this catastrophe. Along with it, the population of a country should be controlled as it brings about social problems, thwarts the economic condition of a country, causes the predicament of housing and degrades the balance in the environment since the earth’s resources are finite.
