澳大利亚财政部最新代际报告作出了乐观预测，未来四十年内澳大利亚人的预期寿命将显著延长。1其中，女性预期寿命将从目前的86岁上升至近90岁，男性则将从82岁升至86岁。1财政部长吉姆·查尔默斯指出，通用医疗系统和医学研究的进步推动了这一提升，并表示"澳大利亚人确实处于更好的位置来应对加速变化"。1
与此同时，该报告还预测澳大利亚人口增长将出现放缓。1到2065/66年，澳大利亚人口预计达到3930万，较2023年的预测低180万。1年人口增长率预期将从过去40年的1.4%放缓至0.9%。1经济前景方面，未来政府债务预期相比2023年报告下降五千亿美元。1
Australia's life expectancy is projected to increase significantly over the next four decades, according to the latest intergenerational report released by the nation's Treasury Department. 1 Women are forecast to reach nearly 90 years of age by 2065–66, up from approximately 86 years currently, while men's life expectancy is expected to climb to 86 years from the present 82 years. 1 Treasury officials attributed these gains to the strength of Australia's universal healthcare system and advances in medical research. 1
The report also reveals a slowdown in population growth over the same period. 1 Australia's population is projected to reach 39.3 million by 2065–66, representing a reduction of 1.8 million from forecasts made in 2023. 1 The annual population growth rate is expected to decline to 0.9 percent, down from the historical average of 1.4 percent over the past four decades. 1 Treasurer Jim Chalmers stated that "Australians are indeed in a better position to manage accelerating change," underscoring the government's optimistic outlook on the nation's demographic and economic trajectory. 1 The Treasury's updated projections also indicate that government debt is anticipated to fall by approximately five billion dollars compared to predictions in the previous year's report. 1
