Financing aged care in Australia: Mitigating fiscal gaps and maintaining intergenerational equity

在未来的10到20年里，老年护理被认为是澳大利亚政府财政日益增长的财政问题的一个重要因素。该项目将开发所需的尖端建模工具，使澳大利亚能够就可能的老年护理融资改革做出明智的决定。它允许对一系列可能的改革的分配影响进行详细评估，包括任何政策变化的结果将如何影响我们社会的弱势群体，不同的世代是否会得到公平对待，以及性别的影响，从而为国家带来重大利益。

Aged care has been identified as a significant contributor to the growing fiscal problems predicted for Australian government finances during the next 10 to 20 years. This project will develop the cutting-edge modelling tools needed to allow Australia to make informed decisions about possible reforms in aged care financing. It will create significant national benefits by allowing detailed assessment of the distributional impact of a wide range of possible reforms, including how the outcomes of any policy change will affect disadvantaged sections of our society, whether different generations will be fairly treated, and the impact by gender.
