Every five years, the Australian Government produces an Intergenerational Report that assesses the long-term sustainability of current Government policies and how changes to Australia’s population size and age profile may impact on economic growth, workforce and public finances over the next 40 years.
The first three Intergenerational Reports were produced in 2002, 2007 and 2010. The new report has been released this year in 2015.
The 2015 Intergenerational Report contains analysis of the key drivers of economic growth in Australia – population, labour force participation and productivity – and examines what projected changes in these areas mean for our standard of living and public policy settings.
It is a projection into the future, giving us an estimate of the challenges we face as a nation and where opportunities could come from.
The 2015 Intergenerational Report is the social compact between the generations – with our children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents and each other.
