The Melbourne Institute’s latest Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) report shows that the nation’s average household assets increased by 64 per cent to $1.37 million between 2002 and 2018. However, average household debt rose by 104 per cent to $213,496 over this period. The HILDA survey also found that the proportion of Australians with a mortgage rose from 33.8 per cent to 36.3 per cent, although home ownership has declined from 68.1 per cent in 2002 to 63.9 per cent.
