The average Australian is expected to live into their mid-to-late 80s by 2060, according to a new study. This projection highlights a growing trend of increased life expectancy in the country. At the same time, the study suggests that Australians will have fewer children, contributing to a demographic shift. The report, based on current trends, indicates a potential imbalance between the aging population and the number of younger people. Experts warn that this shift could have significant implications for healthcare, social services, and the economy. The findings underscore the need for policy adjustments to address the changing needs of an older population.
