Uprooting and
planting a plant or tree from is original place to some other place of our own
choice is really arduous and demanding. We will have to nurture it and must
give sufficient care and attention; then only that particular plant or tree
will reinforce itself and perk up to it original strength and beauty. It is
also the same case with human beings; uprooting from one’s own environment is
really grueling and painful. In certain cases, we don’t have many choices and
so, we will have to make adjustments; but while migrating to Australia we will be able to make this pain much
less, as the overall social conditions in Australia will indeed boost up our
mind, body and soul tremendously. Even though we will obviously feel a change,
we will be able to overcome that mood in a minimal period.
It is a commonly
agreed fact that Australian economy was having a very favourable condition,
throughout these bygone years. It should be noted here that even though many of
the countries, world wide, had undergone difficult periods during the last
decade or so, Australian economy was always in the increasing trend and even
now it is gearing towards more growth. This highly positive factor attracts a
lot of skilled and proficient workers from all over the world to Australia and
the country presently enjoys an extremely powerful pool of highly talented
man-power.
One of the charming
highlights of the present day Australian economy is the twist given to the main
focus regarding the country’s economy. Once upon a time, Australia was considered as a
‘manufacturing’ country and complete thrust was given to the manufacturing
arena. Now tracing some steps away from that scenario, equal importance is
being given to the service sector also. This shift of focus has made Australia
a real hub of very many international business activities and this creates
plenty of job opportunities. Another main notable point of Australia, which
makes it a huge provider of employments, is the presence of big mining centres,
which have got immense natural wealth and resources.
Regarding the general working conditions of Australia, the country follows a common pattern of five days a week, from Monday to Friday working, with extra time payments for overtime works. The weekly working time is restricted to 40 hours and the average weekly working hours of Australia is calculated to be around 37 hours. The unemployment ratio of Australia is very less. It is estimated that approximately 75% of the present day employees are in the service sector and main portion of the rest are in the industry sector. A highly significant part of these employees belongs to the foreign skilled workforce. Some of the major centres of job availability are Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra and Adelaide. It should be also mentioned here that these regions are also having higher cost of living standards, when compared to the other low lying parts of Australia. Although, even now there are very many job opportunities in Australia for skilled and educated overseas candidates, as the present day government is keen on developing the local talents, there is also a good probability for an increase in the local man-power ratio, in the very near future.
