The Crisis of Cash or Crisis of Confidence - the Cost of Ageing in Australia Download

Description:

The retirement of the ‘baby boom’ generation, and the associated increase in the number of retirees has been prominent in public debate, and debate around government taxing and spending policies in particular, since the turn of the 21st century. The federal government has commissioned the Intergenerational Report (Treasury 2002), as well as the Economic Implications of an Ageing Australia (Productivity Commission 2005). Political leaders, including the Prime Minister and the Treasurer, have framed the desire to achieve other policy goals (such as reduced government expenditure) in terms of dealing with the imminent retirement of the baby boom generation.
