Comparing the Living Standards of Children and Older People Within and Between Nations

这项研究将有助于我们了解决定儿童和老年人生活水平的因素，并为应对人口老龄化的政策提供信息。它将利用国内和国际领先研究人员的专业知识，利用一系列现有的和新的数据，对澳大利亚和其他类似国家进行深入的比较，并为开发一个重要的新的国际数据库做出贡献。与国家研究重点相关，该项目将培养新一代澳大利亚研究人员，并通过为政策制定提供新信息，积极吸引最终用户参与研究过程。

The research will contribute to our understanding of the factors that determine the living standards of children and older people and inform the policy response to population ageing. It will draw on the expertise of leading national and international researchers, utilise a range of existing and new data to conduct in-depth comparisons between Australia and other similar countries, and contribute to the development of an important new international database. Relevant to the national research priorities, the project will train a new generation of Australian researchers, and actively engage end-users in the research process by providing new information for policy development.
