More Australians to live into their 90s as life expectancy forecast to rise over coming decades

Australians are expected to live longer lives, with women's life expectancy at birth forecast to reach 89 and men's reaching 86 by 2065/66. This increase in life expectancy will have significant implications for the country's economy and workforce. As more people live into their 90s, there will be a greater demand for healthcare and social services, which could impact government spending and budgeting.

Why it matters

Australia's aging population will lead to increased demand for healthcare and age-related services. This could drive growth in related industries and create new opportunities for businesses.
