Summary:The City of Melbourne is a ‘young’ city in terms of the average age of its population. The ‘youthfulness’ of the City’s people affects all of the population’s demographic characteristics and raises many challenges and, potentially, opportunities for education, creativity, engagement, and service delivery. Given the City’s ongoing attraction for young people, there is an opportunity for the City of Melbourne and Council to better understand the diversity of young people, in addition to the reasons they’re attracted to the City (using other research), when planning for the future. The following profile aims to present information about young people in a manner which will improve community and government understanding of the City’s population of young residents. It also aims to provide useful information for policy development and for organisations offering services to residents in the municipality. During the development of this profile for the City of Melbourne, a large amount of information regarding the young population was collated, compared and contrasted to the remainder of the population. The population of young people was defined, for the purposes of the project as residents of the City of Melbourne from 12 to25 years of age. For more discussion of student numbers and characteristics see the City of Melbourne 2006 Student Demographic Profile. This paper also analyses how the number of children and families in the City changed due to municipal boundary re-alignment in 2008. The implications are important to understand as changes will encompass new areas of Kensington and North Melbourne (previously under administration of City of Moonee Valley) with new residents who need services. See Appendices for a map of small areas. -- TAKEN FROM INTRODUCTION.
