Breakfast cereal sales in Australia were described to as “stagnent”, having been a 39 per cent increase in volume sales for hot cereals and 27 per cent growth for muesli in the past six years, Looking beyond breakfast cereals, consumers are now opting for energy and nutrition bars, which recorded a 104 per cent volume growth in the past six years. (As cited by Tom Decent,2015) Australian made all the
Analyse the impact of at least TWO urban dynamics on the growth,development, future trends and ecological sustainability, of a large city in the developed world. Both urban sprawl and urban consolidation are urban dynamics which are a result of Sydney’s population growth. Urban sprawl is the extreme spread of an urban place of which has made large impacts particularly on the growth and ecological sustainability of the outskirts of Sydney. More affordable and more spatial housing is made available, however there are many negative impacts on the ecological environment, including land degradation. The urban consolidation of inner city areas in Sydney such as Pyrmont has played a large role in the areas development of culture and future trends including the increase of high-rise residential buildings due to the increased population density.
Cash flow Growth: 8%. Dividend Yield: 2.90%. Dividend Growth: 9% (Alden, 2011). Coca-Cola has additionally grown offering 14 brands to the company making a profit of $1 billion or more in annual sales, the company sold $25.5 billion unit case and had revenue of $35.119 billion in 2010 (Alden, 2011). Coca-Cola has grown its’ revenue rapidly over 5 years, this brought about an important highlight for the company in between 5 years, so the company earned about 8.5% in annual revenue growth.
By 2008 the rates for females in Australia doubled to 24 (ABS, 2009) and in the USA increased to 67 (BJS, 2009). Indigenous members of Australia are over-represented in the criminal justice system, this is also evident in the USA for the minority groups of black and Hispanic peoples. Indigenous peoples in Australia include those of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent; their rate of incarceration in 1995 was 1764 per 100,000 Indigenous adults (ABS, 1997). In America at the same time black citizens imprisoned was 700 per 100,000 black peoples and 220 for Hispanic peoples (BJS, 1995). In 2008 the Indigenous people’s rate of imprisonment had stayed fairly steady at 1769 (ABS, 2010), while in the USA rates rose significantly for both black peoples, 3119, and the Hispanics rising sharply to 1193 (BJS,
By 2015–16 the annual aid figure is estimated to reach around $8–9 billion (0.5 per cent of Gross National Income). Where we give aid Australia's aid program focuses on the Asia Pacific region. We are internationally recognised for our leading role in the region, particularly in PNG and the Pacific. Our aid is even more important given two-thirds of the world’s poor—some 800 million people—live in the Asia Pacific, yet they receive less than one third of global aid. Australia also provides assistance to Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean.
What accounted for the rise of urbanization in America during the nineteenth century? Urban population of America increased seven fold after Civil War, natural increase accounted for a small part of urban growth, high infant mortality, declining fertility rate, high death rate .In 1900 almost 14 percent were urbanites even though only 12 cities had 1 million or more inhabitants. An agricultural economy to an industrial economy in the end of the 19th century were the most successful nation.The years of industrial expansion after the Civil War brought important changes to American society. The country became increasingly urban, and cities grew not only in terms of population but also in size, with skyscrapers pushing cities upward and new transportation systems extending the outward. Part of the urban population growth was fueled by an unprecedented mass immigration to the United States that continued unabated into the first two decades of the twentieth century.
Tourism was also increasing so that a promenade and other tourist attractions were built. By the end of the Victorian era, the population was 47000 and during the mid-1900’s it had grown to approximately 147,000 and was one of the most famous British Seaside resorts; the most popular style of holiday at that point in time. However, during the late 20th Century there has been a decrease in tourism numbers and Seaside holidays have become decreasingly popular as a result of cheaper international fights and change of tastes although it still attracts millions of visitors per year as a result of its iconic attractions such as the Blackpool Tower, the Blackpool Illuminations and it’s Tramway; the UK’s only surviving 1st generation tramway. Over the last 300 years, Blackpool has
Please Note: What about geographical differences in regard to poverty?Although still majority white (79%), the population on Long Island has been becoming steadily more diverse over the last two decades, with a greater proportion of black, Hispanic and Asian populations in particular. Hispanics are the largest minority population at 12.6%. This reflects the national trend toward greater diversity and growth of Hispanic and Asian populations. Nassau County is notably more diverse than Suffolk County (74.3% vs. 83.6%), although Suffolk has a higher percentage of Hispanics (13% vs. 12.1%). The median household income in the region is significantly higher than the national average, and is substantially higher in Suffolk County than Nassau County ($85,994 vs. $76,847).
Ethnic minorities are using this right to an extent since voting turnout rates increased between 2004-2008. For example, black turnout rate increased from 60% to 65% and Hispanic's increased from 47& to 49%. Political representation amongst ethnic group is also at its highest ever. Barack Obama, the USA's first minority president, was elected in 2008. Minorities are also more represented in congress than ever before with black representation increasing from 42 to 44 and Hispanic representation increasing from 28
‘Cruise tourism is the fastest growing segment of leisure tourism’ (Klein 2011:107). Between 1980 and 2010, the cruise industry has seen a passenger growth rate of 7.5% on average per year and in 2010 it’s estimated that 15 million passengers took a cruise of 7.2 days average length (Cruise Lines International Association, 2011). Klein (2011), states that with such rapid growth there are concerns for the impact on the environment, local economies in popular ports and on the sociocultural nature of communities. This paper will seek to examine these impacts and the development and structure of the cruise industry as it stands today. Cartwright and Baird (1999) reveal that in 1801 the first steam driven ship commenced service in Scotland and over the following years wooden steam ships were used only for short journeys.
