Immigration's Impact on Housing Crisis
High rates of immigration in Australia have exacerbated the housing crisis, leading to a cumulative housing shortfall of 200,000 to 300,000 homes. Despite the need for about 250,000 new homes annually, only around 170,000 to 175,000 have been built, contributing to rising housing costs. The construction sector faces challenges like labor shortages and high material costs, further hindering home construction.
