Australia’s most recent Population Statement details the early impacts of the COVID‑19 pandemic and projects where the nation’s population is heading over the next decade.

How can this information be used to inform policy and decision-making in pursuit of a secure Australian future?

In this episode of the National Security Podcast, Dr Liz Allen, demographer and Senior Lecturer at the ANU Center for Social Research and Methods, joins Dr Will Stoltz to discuss the state of Australia's population and what needs to be done to prepare for an increasingly complex strategic environment.

Dr Liz Allen is a demographer and Senior Lecturer at the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods.

Dr William A Stoltz is the former Policy Director at the ANU National Security College.
