Northern Hemisphere

Northern Hemisphere: 北半球

Sydney's sprawl to the south and west has stalled. Fairfield, Penrith, Campbelltown, Blue Mountains and even Canterbury shrank in population in 2003-04, according to a report by KPMG.

The report also revealed a "drought" of Australian men in their 30s caused by skilled young males gravitating to big economies in the Northern Hemisphere.

This has turned a traditional surplus of 30-something men into a deficit. In 1976 there were 54,000 more men than women aged in their 30s, but now there are 20,000 fewer men than women in that age group. There are now more women than men in every year of life from 29 to 55.
