The Australian Government’s Intergenerational Report forecasts that the nation’s population will rise from 23.9 million to 39.7 million over the next four decades. It also forecasts that Australians will live longer, with more than 40,000 people over the age of 100 by 2055, while the workforce participation rate of people aged 65+ will rise and there will be fewer people under the age of 65 in the workforce. Treasurer Joe Hockey has used the release of the report to warn that Australia faces decades of Budget deficits unless policy reforms are implemented
