Looks like jobs will become harder to come by in the future and this is why we must import hundreds of thousands of unskilled migrants 

The word "banker" is interesting

The a business owner - banker means the relationship manager that looks after the business with its banking needs

To the doctor it means the personal who looks after their loans and all their banking needs

To the pensioner it means the teller who process their passbook on a periodical basis

There are jobs today that didn't exist 30 years ago

Add to that the world has significantly increased its workforce

Things will change and there will be jobs

The question is - will Australians pick it up or do we need to import workers in?

You're dreaming if you think job creation is going to outpace automation.

While there are new jobs, the vast majority are employed in jobs that existed in some form 100 years ago.

It's a natural consequence of automation. Once a job is automated cost effectively, then it's gone.

Consider the number of people in the Taxi Industry in Australia, there are about 70,000 drivers, jobs that will eventually go.

The CEDA report found that about five million jobs (40%) are likely to be replaced in the next two decades and an additional 18.4 per cent of the workforce could be a reasonable risk.

This isn't some wild speculation.

That IS NOT CORRECT!
The Growth Rate has actually been in Decline, for quite some time, with Fertility Rates having Peaked at over 5 in the 50's & now it is lucky to be over Replacement level of 2, in many countries.

In fact, some countries are already in Decline in respect of their Total Population, Japan being the most noticeable.

Many other countries will shortly follow that path AND the Global Total Population will be lucky IF it reaches 8 Billion, BEFORE GOING INTO DECLINE UNTIL THE END OF THIS CENTURY AND PERHAPS DECLINING TO 3-4 BILLION. 

That is now in the process of change, IF in fact, it ever existed!

Maqqa,
1) What part/s of what I wrote, do you not agree with?
2) Did you actually take any time, to look thru your own reference?
Perhaps, you could start by looking under -

Growth Rate
Population in the world is currently (as of 2015-2016) growing at a rate of around 1.13% per year. The average population change is currently estimated at around 80 million per year.

Annual growth rate reached its peak in the late 1960s, when it was at 2% and above. The rate of increase has therefore almost halved since its peak of 2.19 percent, which was reached in 1963.

The annual growth rate is currently declining and is projected to continue to decline in the coming years. Currently, it is estimated that it will become less than 1% by 2020 and less than 0.5% by 2050.
==============================================
Oh & btw, I may agree with some of the projected outcomes, in YOUR SOURCE, but I would suggest they may be a little out in some of their projections

As for the Declining Fertility rate -
