Australia warns on ageing and birth rates
Australia expects the number of deaths to surpass the number of births for the first time since the 1960s, due to declining birth rates and slowed migration, reflecting a demographic shift that threatens the country's economy. It is projected that the population growth rate will slow to 0.9% annually over the next forty years, with the number of seniors over 85 tripling by 2066, increasing pressure on healthcare and social services. The government is preparing for profound changes, including tightening migration policies and expanding care services to address future demographic challenges.
