Therefore, the economic problem will incur, causing an extreme decrease in the country’s GDP. The article illustrated that population growth plays an important role in creating the economic problem of scarcity within Australia, so the concept should be considered by the governments before decisions with respect to a “Big Australia” are
During the global financial crisis in 2009, the Australian government implemented fiscal policy to ease the effects of the downturn on the Australian economy. The fiscal policy consisted of a $42 billion stimulus package which was spent on families, schools, homes, small businesses and roads. The stimulus increases the government purchases and planned spending and inversely decreasing taxes. In the Keynesian model, the equation given by: The stimulus aims to increase G by the government building infrastructure and roads, which would create more jobs due to the increased demand in workers to build infrastructure. Furthermore, the stimulus aims to increase cTR by handing out cash bonuses to low to middle income earners in the economy.

The consumer staples sector need consumers to be employed: so the consumers will have money to purchase more products. As of March 2011 the unemployment rate has decreased to 8.8% after not falling below 9% from May of 2009 to January 2011. The unemployment rate should decrease as the economy continues to recover which will allow more consumers to purchase a variety of products. Consumer Sentiment has also increased over the past year. When consumers have a positive outlook on the economy they are more likely to purchase more products from staple stores.
Financial ratios, especially when listed for multiple years in a row, can really expand what you are seeing on the financial statements with just a glance. The asset turnover ratio was decreasing towards 1 from 2000-04. As Krispy Kreme expanded assets were likely increasing. The fact that the ratio pushed from 2.1 to 1.01 in just four years shows those sales were not increasing proportionately with all the growth the company was experiencing. Exhibit 7: By a raising current ratio, we can see that Krispy Kreme is much more able to pay debt within the next year.
Although it seems that we are making great strides in education with increased admissions for college students in diverse social, income and ethnic groups, that because these students are not getting degrees the gap between rich and poor continues to increase, and these achievements in education are not as valid as they seem. The article says that universities which have higher enrollment rates of students from low-income families also have lower graduation rates. However, at institutions with the highest graduation rates such as the University of Colorado and Stanford, a large majority of the students come from high-income homes, a statistic that has continued to rise the past 20 years. At elite universities, the student-body populations are becoming more and more diverse as far as cultural and religious background, but these students all share an upper-middle class upbringing. According to the Department of Education “only 41 percent of low-income students entering a four-year college managed to
Today, Australia has been built for those who have been looking forwards a better life. Since 1930s, refugees have been coming to this country. However, ‘The white Australia’ has dominated the immigration policy until WWII, as people worried about being invaded by Japanese, the catch cry of ‘populate or perish’ was born. As the immigrants from UK and its colonies could not be recruited fast enough to supply the demand, Australia became increasingly aware of those in the refugee camp. Today, we get 1500 refugees from Africa, 1500 from Middle East and 3000 from Asia every year.
Unemployment and non-work have risen throughout the country and among immigrants, but the number of new immigrants, both legal and illegal, entering the country continues to match the pace of the 1990s. Immigrants come to America for many reasons, and the demand for labor may be a relatively minor factor in determining the level of immigration. If there is no change in immigration policy, it is almost certain that at least 15 million new legal and illegal immigrants will settle in the United States in this decade alone, regardless of the performance of the U.S. economy. So although the consequences seem minimal now, immigration’s impact will continue to grow if current policies are left the
As shown on Figure 1 above, due to the economic recession the official poverty rate jumped by 2.6% between 2007 and 2010; likewise, the unemployment rate increased from 4.6% to 9.6%; yet the supplemental poverty measure remained at around 15.5% flat, mostly by virtue of the EITC (Hoynes, 2014:26). Smeeding, Phillips and O’Connor (2000) found that a large majority of EITC beneficiaries depend on the credit to pay for priority uses such as paying bills and make ends meet. Beverly (2002:260) argues that the EITC also provides a short term safety net for families experiencing shocks to earnings; Dowd and Horowitz (2011) found that more than 60% of the beneficiaries of the credit between 1989 and 2006 claimed the credit for only one or two years at a time (Cited in Charite, Dutta-Gupta & Marr, 2012:7). Denver resident and anti-poverty advocate Corrine Fowler found herself jobless and a single mother in 1997; she says “It really kept me from either becoming homeless or having to move in with my mother” (Phillips,
The consensus is that there is no stopping the rise in automation. And so, like all throughout history, our society must adapt. If two out of five Australians are going to be out of a job in fifteen years, then we have to find a way to provide for these people, and luckily we have one. The UBI may not be the full solution, but it is certainly a way to ease the transition, as Sean Illing says “it is not necessarily a substitute for work, but a supplement to work that allows them to have a sense of economic security, have consumer buying power. We want to allow people to be entrepreneurs, to take risks and raise kids and do other things”.
