  • This report argues that fundamental development challenges remained largely unaddressed during this period – establishing the rule of law and good governance, investing in education and health systems and critical infrastructure, and diversifying the economy by enabling the private sector to grow and create jobs.

      Australia is ranked second in HDI, yet it is still in industries that most stage three countries would have.  Australia still has not opened themselves up to services like the United States and Western European nations.
  • Experts say an influx of “knowledge jobs’’ — that usually require a tertiary degree — are growing strongly despite a high Australian dollar and competition from cheap imports.
  • industries such as healthcare, finance and insurance are growing strongly, while manufacturing companies are adapting to changing conditions.

  • There is a recognition and a willingness to adapt to new and emerging industries such as those providing the ‘knowledge’ jobs so crucial to future growth,” he said.
  • education facilities
  • colleges are developing and offering courses tailored to new industries.”
  • “Importantly, this contraction has been more than offset by strong growth in a number of industries, primarily the construction and service (finance, healthcare and transport) sectors.
  • Manufacturing makes up 14.5 per cent of the Greater Western Sydney economy.
  • manufacturing remains the most important employer in Western Sydney, making up 15.6 per cent of total employment.
  • Healthcare and social assistance accounted for 60,174 jobs (12.1 per cent of employment in the region), followed by retail trade with 52,523 (10.5 per cent) and wholesale trade 34,879 (7.0 per cent)

      This relates to the theme of globalization because it shows how more countries are using service related jobs instead of primary and secondary jobs because technology is making those jobs easier for fewer people to complete.

      An article about the United States that relates to growing industries after the recession can be seen by clicking the link below.  Although this article is more about the rebounding secondary sector jobs, it parallels the growth in new jobs.

      Why is Australia so behind in making this change if they are higher in the HDI which normally relates to how high a country is developed?

      This article relates to chapter eleven and twelve because it explains the change a developed country, Australia is going through the process of becoming reliant on tertiary sector jobs instead of jobs in the secondary sector.  This article explains how quickly healthcare is growing while other companies in manufacturing have to adjust to not having as much of the population to hire.

    First thought...interesting article Cameron. It encouraging to see a country like Australia developing and implementing services in its economy. I wonder how this will effect the prices of the minerals Australia exports to the majority of the world? With more people moving to the service sector there will be less in the mines, so my gut tells me that the world wide prices will go down due to the fact that companies will be able to make a bigger profit selling the same amount of material due to lower labor costs.

    I feel like Australia has a lot going for it! Like you mentioned, it has a high HDI- this is no coincidence. As we know, it has access to important natural resources. It is fairly isolated, which can hurt its economy, but there is less competition for jobs. It is also a highly popular area for tourism. It doesn't get involved in a lot of matters occurring in the northern hemispheres, which keeps it out of costly wars.

    It's interesting that there are less people going into construction even as a part time job since most college grads don't get a job right out of school. You would think that instead of working at a McDonalds or something people would do construction jobs where they have more of a chance to turn a profit and actually get a permanent job.
  • hseig13 on 11 Apr 14
     
    It is quite interesting to see that a large amount of construction workers are over the age of 55. This is going to cause problems within the field with less teens filling in their spots. As we learned in class those people over 55 will soon be added into the dependency ratio and they will no longer be able to work causing even more problems within the construction work force.

  • By the time the hours-long siege at Army Public School and Degree College ended early Tuesday evening, at least 145 people -- 132 children, 10 school staff members and three soldiers
  • The attack drew sharp condemnation from top Pakistani officials, who vowed that the country wouldn't stop its war against the Taliban.
  • But he said the ambush at the school is another example of how great his nation's sacrifices have been in fighting that's raged for more than a decade.

  • Peshawar, an ancient city of more than 3 million people tucked right up against the Khyber Pass, has often found itself in the center of it all. Militants repeatedly targeted the city in response to Pakistani military offensives,

    The extremist Islamic group Taliban has attacked a Pakistani school for religious purposes. These conflicts occur because of strong religious opposition to modern government.Why would they target children of all people.

    I know that the extremist group, the Taliban, hate western views because they are very religious in the Islamic faith, but I also find it strange that the Taliban would attack a school full of children. Maybe it was to really cause an impact on the people living in Pakistan and to make those people scared.

    Its such a shame that the Taliban commits these kinds of acts because it gives muslims in general a bad reputation even though REAL muslims condone their acts and have no affiliation with them. This also causes racism towards muslims because unfortunately the Taliban is the only thing we hear about that is affiliated with muslims from western media.

    The Taliban are a vile extremist group of Islam, and unfortunately very loud, we sadly only hear horrible, violent things from such a peaceful religion.
  • neeltrivedi on 22 Dec 14
     
    I also agree with Alec, people are racist to those who look middle eastern, just because of the horrible terrorists out there. It doesn't even matter if they are Islam, let alone extremists.
