AUSTRALIA

Economy

(1) Australia is one of the world's rich, developed countries. Most developed countries have become rich through the production and export of manufactured goods. Australia's wealth, however, has come chiefly from farming and mining.

(2) The processing of farm and mineral products makes up a major part of Australia's manufacturing industry. For many years, manufacturing was the leading employer in Australia. But since about 1970, manufacturing has declined in importance, while service industries have increased in importance.

(3) The nation relies on its farms and mines to produce goods for export. By selling farm products and minerals abroad, Australia earns the export income that most other developed countries earn from the sale of manufactured products. However, only part of Australia's export income goes to the farmers and mining companies that produce the goods originally. Much of it goes to firms that process and distribute the goods. Thus, Australia's agricultural and mineral exports benefit the economy and enable many Australians to have a high standard of living.

(4) Australia has traditionally been handicapped by a lack of capital--that is, money to finance business and industrial development. As a result, the country has had to borrow capital from other nations and has become heavily indebted to them. Many mining companies, factories, and other businesses in Australia are owned or controlled by American, British, Japanese, and other foreign investors.
