Australia WIE 2025

Australia is the world’s 13th largest economy and has the 10th highest per capita income. Around 30% of its population are immigrants, and the people there enjoy a high level of civil and economic liberties.

About 78% of the workforce in this country work in the trading and service sector, thus making it the main pillar of its economy. The business and finance, healthcare and social assistance services, on the other hand, contribute to the majority of the economy growth.
