The Australian population is ageing due to the combined effects of increasing life expectancy and decreasing birth rate. The prevalence of major chronic illnesses including diabetes, heart disease and mental health conditions has also increased consistently. With a suite of state-of-the-art econometric and simulation models, we propose the first comprehensive analysis at the individual level of the complex relationships between health status, chronic illnesses, labour market decisions, private health insurance status, and health service utilisations of older Australians. The research will enhance the technical rigour and capacity for analysing a range of health and ageing related policies and issues.

由于预期寿命增加和出生率下降的综合影响，澳大利亚人口正在老龄化。包括糖尿病、心脏病和精神健康状况在内的主要慢性病的发病率也持续上升。随着一套国家的最先进的计量经济学和模拟模型，我们提出了第一个全面的分析，在个人层面上的复杂关系之间的健康状况，慢性疾病，劳动力市场的决策，私人医疗保险的地位，和老年澳大利亚人的医疗服务利用率。这项研究将提高分析一系列与健康和老龄化有关的政策和问题的技术严谨性和能力。
