Successfully Preparing Australia for Change
How can we sustain the economy when one-third of the current workforce may retire in the next few decades? How can we meet the healthcare needs for the largest and most demanding generation to-date?
Considering those aged 85 and over will quadruple by 2050, it is critical to examine the ageing population’s impact on the Australian economy and community. In analyzing the direct effect the older generation will have on crucial economic and social factors, we can begin to prepare and implement the optimum solutions to manage the changing Australian demographic.
This year’s summit will investigate a series of topics including:
- Regulatory reform to overcome fiscal challenges associated with an ageing community
- The economic implications of the ageing population
- Solutions and initiatives for better workforce planning and retirement options
- International experiences and initiatives to reform the pension and aged care schemes
- Increased healthcare spending and management, including an efficient e-health system
- Financing for longer living, self-funding and the future of superannuation
- Housing, aged care and staffing solutions, as well as planning for the ageing population
- Programs to counter social and cultural isolation
