4 Greater Dandenong people Based on 2012 figures, Greater Dandenong had an estimated resident population of almost 145,000 people. 1 Between 2005 and 2012, the local population grew at an average rate of 1.7 per cent per year. This population growth has been housed to a degree in increased density established residential areas, but more significantly through new residential developments south of central Dandenong and more substantially in Keysborough. Greater Dandenong is the most culturally diverse municipality in Victoria and second most culturally diverse in Australia. Coming from 150 birth places, approximately 60 per cent of residents were born overseas. This highly multicultural society adds very attractive elements to the overall community, contributing to visitor offer and attracting more people to the retail precincts.

6 Capitalise on the value of Greater Dandenong s culturally diverse workforce One of the advantages of a highly multicultural community is that successful engagement can add very attractive elements to the overall society. Entrepreneurial activity by Greater Dandenong s multicultural community particularly in food retail adds very strongly to the visitor offer and attracts more people to the retail precincts. New arrivals are generally highly motivated and eager to make a positive contribution to the community. Greater Dandenong employers have the opportunity to take advantage of a linguistically and culturally diverse workforce with innovative ideas stimulated by global influences. A culturally diverse workforce can drive and achieve innovation. Culturally diverse staff can assist in attempts to understand and connect with the growing multicultural domestic market and can support other staff in crosscultural client interactions. Benefits of a culturally diverse workforce for employers can include: 6 building cultural connections with foreign markets avoiding discrimination developing and maintaining positive public image creating a healthy and inclusive work environment promoting innovation, creativity and problem solving reducing staff turnover supporting local community and economy expanding into new markets filling job vacancies The City of Greater Dandenong continues to endeavour to improve opportunities for participation of residents into the local economy. Higher education enrolments Resident enrolments into higher education have continued to increase in recent years. Most preferred higher education study fields of local residents are management and commerce; society and culture; and health. Half of Greater Dandenong imported workers are employed in occupations that require skill levels commensurate with higher education attainment and managers are at the top of the list. Local businesses have the opportunity to utilise the skills of local graduates with up to date qualifications upon the completion of their studies higher education enrolments 4472 enrolments 53 per cent females 91 per cent relied on HECS/HELP (student loans) 75 per cent engaged in full time study 6.

Unemployment Unemployment rate June 2013 quarter Greater Dandenong: 9.2 per cent Metro Melbourne: 5.6 per cent Participation rate: 46 per cent 7 Resident employment Relative to metro Melbourne, Greater Dandenong has a high unemployment rate. Factors that can be seen as contributing to this are youth disengagement 8, a high proportion of women not in paid work, lack of qualifications and language/communication barriers. There are, however, favourable education trends in recent years such as: increasing higher education enrolments, declining early school leaver numbers, and rates of attendance at TAFE that are higher per capita than in Victoria as a whole. A lack of jobs is not the primary issue for Greater Dandenong since local businesses provide more jobs than there are resident workers. The City of Greater Dandenong works on improving resident employment outcomes through encouraging, supporting and fostering activities that promote resident engagement into the workforce and local entrepreneurship. 7.

8 Cultural diversity Cultural diversity is a valued facet of Greater Dandenong. A relatively high proportion of residents who were born overseas creates a vibrant cultural mix, which is reflected in the City s multicultural population and the relatively large number of cultural businesses located in the municipality. Greater Dandenong persons born overseas: 60 per cent Metro Melbourne residents born overseas: 33 per cent Approximately 14 per cent of Greater Dandenong residents do not speak English well, or do not speak the language at all. Greater Dandenong, and Dandenong central in particular are well serviced by training organisations that offer English language skills training. Many such programs are heavily subsidised or free of charge.

One quarter of new arrivals in 2012 were skilled persons with qualifications and skills that help address skills shortages in the country. During the same year, approximately 39 per cent of new residents arriving from overseas were sponsored by a family member residing in Australia. One quarter of humanitarian metro Melbourne arrivals settled in Greater Dandenong in A number of various service providers located in the municipality accommodate for the needs of the continuous inflow of new humanitarian and refugee arrivals. humanitarian 35% Data source: Department of Immigration and Citizenship, Settlement reports, 2012 Greater Dandenong people 9

11 Greater Dandenong people statistics and analysis Population In 2012, Greater Dandenong had an estimated resident population of around 145,000 people. Between 2005 and 2012, the city grew at an average rate of 1.7 per cent per year. This growth has arisen from new housing developments throughout the municipality, particularly in Keysborough and around Central Dandenong (including the development of the Dandenong saleyards). In comparison, population growth rate was 1.8 per cent for metro Melbourne as a whole between 2005 and ,000 Forecast population growth 2001 to 2026 Estimated resident population Population forecast 160, , , , , , , Data Source: DPCD 9, Victoria in Future 2012, ABS, Census of Population and Housing, 2011 According to the Department of Planning and Community Development forecast, the population of Greater Dandenong will grow by 1.1 per cent per year over the period between 2012 and This compares with a forecast average growth of 1.4 per cent per year for metro Melbourne as a whole over the same period Department of Planning and Community Development 10. These forecasts are based on the projected share of Victoria s growth captured by each area and on the expected housing development in the respective areas. Greater Dandenong people statistics and analysis 11

12 Age The forecast of change in population indicated that growth in all age groups is anticipated, with substantial growth in the 5 to 19 and significant growth in 60 plus age groups. Considerable growth in the age group between 30 to 49 years is also expected. This indicates a reduction in the proportion of working people to non-working people. A subsequent reduction in average income levels can be expected, since retirement incomes are generally lower than working incomes. Increase in demand for retirement services such as health, adult education and gentle recreational activities can be expected. Continued growth in demand for school places and jobs in education can also be anticipated. This pattern compares broadly with the forecast for metro Melbourne as a whole, although Greater Dandenong does appear to have relatively lower growth in most working age groups and higher growth in school age children compared with metro Melbourne. 7,000 Forecast age change ,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1, to 4 5 to to to to to to to Data Source: DPCD, Victoria in Future Greater Dandenong people statistics and analysis

13 Unemployment Rate In 2011 there were 64,030 Greater Dandenong residents working or looking for work. This represents a participation rate of 46 per cent (46 per cent of all residents were working or looking for work) in comparison with 55 per cent in metro Melbourne. Over the last five years, unemployment in Greater Dandenong was consistently higher than in metro Melbourne as a whole. During the June 2013 quarter, unemployment in Greater Dandenong was 9.2 per cent compared to 5.6 per cent in metro Melbourne.

Greater Dandenong people statistics and analysis 13

14 Youth disengagement and early school leavers Greater Dandenong had the second highest level of youth disengagement in Melbourne of over 15 per cent (20 to 24 year olds), which was over four per cent higher than the metro Melbourne level in In 2011, 13 per cent of Greater Dandenong adults aged 20 to 24 had left school before completing year eleven, which is three per cent higher than in metro Melbourne. Early school leaving rates vary significantly by place of birth and can be as high as 51 per cent. Overall early school leaving rates, however, reduced over the five years to 2011 by three per cent. In 2011, the unemployment rate amongst 15 to 19 year-olds in Greater Dandenong was almost 26 per cent, which is considerably higher than Victoria s unemployment rate of over 16 per cent for this age group. Unemployment rate among 20 to 24 year olds of 13 per cent was also higher by three per cent than in Victoria for the same age group in Women out of work Women are less likely to be in paid employment than men as 39 per cent (11 per cent lower than in Victoria) of women aged 15 years and over in Greater Dandenong were in paid employment compared to 60 per cent of males in Women are also almost twice as likely to be employed part-time than men. Within Greater Dandenong s resident population 19 per cent of women between 20 to 24 years of age were neither in paid employment nor enrolled in education compared to 13 per cent in Victoria in Skills and language barriers Unemployment levels vary considerably with birth place. Residents aged 25 to 44 from some birthplace groups can experience unemployment rates as high as 37 per cent. Newly arrived settlers face labour-market disadvantages often resulting from lack of recognised qualifications and English language and numeracy skills. This results in higher unemployment rates for some groups. Opportunities The growing number of higher education enrolments over the last four years is expected to improve residents skill levels and help address high unemployment in Greater Dandenong. Furthermore, early school leaving rates are showing a declining trend and rates of attendance of 20 to 24 year-olds at TAFE are three per cent higher than across Victoria. As industries are becoming more technology driven, the demand for people with limited qualifications or skills is reducing. Hence, improved education and training could help improve residents employment prospects. Through encouraging and supporting various programs and activities, the City of Greater Dandenong supports improvement of residents access to job ready skills. 14 Greater Dandenong people statistics and analysis

15 Household income The Greater Dandenong median weekly household income was $953 compared to $1,331 median household in metro Melbourne as a whole in Allowing for the larger average number of persons per household in Greater Dandenong than metro Melbourne as a whole (2.8 compared with 2.6), these figures indicate that the residents of Greater Dandenong have incomes that are substantially lower than the metro Melbourne average % Household income 35.00% 30.00% 25.00% 20.00% 15.00% 10.00% 5.00% 0.00% Less than $600 $600 to $1,249 $1,250 to $1,999 $2,000 or more Greater Dandenong 30% 34% 20% 16% Metropolitan Melbourne 22% 26% 21% 31% Data Source: ABS, Census of Population and Housing, 2011 In Greater Dandenong almost 30 per cent of households have an income that is less than $600 per week compared with 22 per cent in metro Melbourne. At the end of the scale, only 16 per cent of households in Greater Dandenong have an income of $2,000 or more per week compared with 31 per cent in metro Melbourne as a whole.

16 Qualifications In 2011, around 28 per cent of Greater Dandenong residents aged 20 years and over had a Bachelor degree or higher compared with 49 per cent in metro Melbourne. Postgraduate qualifications accounted for five per cent of those with a qualification in Greater Dandenong compared to 10 per cent in metro Melbourne as a whole. Qualification of residents 20 years and over Greater Dandenong Metro Melbourne No % % Postgraduate Degree Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate Bachelor Degree 10, Advanced Diploma and Diploma Certificate 14, Education inadequately described or not stated 13, Total 51, Data source: ABS, Census of Population and Housing, 2011 Higher education enrolments Almost 4500 Greater Dandenong resident students enrolled in higher education courses during 2011 with most enrolments in management and commerce (25.5 per cent), society and culture (17.5 per cent), health (13.8 per cent) and natural and physical sciences (13.3 per cent). Almost 80 per cent of newly enrolled students were under the age of 25. Over the three years to 2011, total resident enrolments in higher education steadily increased by 5 per cent each year. Over the five years to 2011, more female than male residents enrolled in university courses per annum.

Approximately 75 per cent of students enrolled in higher education were studying full time in The number of full time students in the five years to 2011 increased by 29 per cent, whereas, the number of part-time enrolments stayed the same. 16 Greater Dandenong people statistics and analysis

18 Language Cultural diversity is a valued characteristic of the municipality and can be an economic strength, particularly in dealing with exporting and importing, as well as in generating cultural tourism. However, an inability to communicate effectively in English is a strong disadvantage in the labour market. Residents origin and language status in 2011 CGD Metro Melbourne Persons born in Australia 40% 67% Persons born overseas Speaks English only 10% 12% Speaks other language and speaks English: Very well or well 35% 17% Not well or not at all 14% 4% Proficiency in English not stated 1% 0% Total 60% 33% Data source: ABS, Census of Population and Housing, 2011 A majority of residents in Greater Dandenong were born overseas compared with little over a third in metro Melbourne. The table shows that in Greater Dandenong 14 per cent of people have difficulties speaking English, compared with only 4 per cent in metro Melbourne as a whole. The number of persons born overseas increased by 18 per cent since Greater Dandenong has been home to successive waves of migrants, becoming home to significant numbers of people who settled in Australia on humanitarian grounds. This helps to explain the relatively higher proportion of Greater Dandenong residents who are not proficient in English. 18 Greater Dandenong people statistics and analysis

19 New arrivals Each year Greater Dandenong welcomes on average 3300 new settlers who arrive to become residents in the municipality. The majority of new residents arriving from overseas are humanitarian visa holders and sponsored family members. One quarter of Greater Dandenong new arrivals in 2012 were skilled persons with qualifications and skills that help address skills shortages in the country and enhance the size and skill level of the domestic labour force. In comparison, almost half of the metro Melbourne settlers in 2012 were skilled new arrivals and only 13 per cent were humanitarian visa holders. Greater Dandenong received one quarter of those humanitarian metro Melbourne arrivals, which highlights the important role the municipality plays in housing the new humanitarian and refugee arrivals. Since 2008, the total number of new arrivals started to decrease in metro Melbourne as well as Greater Dandenong, which is significantly evident in the skilled migrants stream Greater Dandenong migration streams Family Humanitarian Skilled Data source: Department of Immigration and Citizenship, Settlement Reports, Metro Melbourne migration streams Family Humanitarian Skilled Data source: Department of Immigration and Citizenship, Settlement Reports, 2012 Greater Dandenong people statistics and analysis 19
