This week, the Treasurer Wayne Swan released the 2010 Intergenerational Report. The Report confirms what we’ve known for sometime: Australia’s population is ageing and the percentage of our population aged over 65 years is projected to grow dramatically over the next 40 years.
The ageing of our population means that a smaller proportion of people in the workforce will need to support a larger group of retirees. A big slice of that support will take the form of health and aged care services.
