Economic impacts of disease on older workers: Costs to government and individuals and opportunities for intervention

随着劳动力老龄化，澳大利亚面临劳动力不足的风险，无法确保经济增长，并维持足够的税收收入以支持未来的需求。 该项目将填补澳大利亚证据中的重大空白，证明老年工人的健康状况使其无法进入劳动力市场，降低了他们自己的近期和长期生活标准，减少了政府可用的资金。我们将解决导致澳大利亚劳动力市场人口结构发生根本变化的最重要问题之一，这是总理和财政部长在代际报告后的讲话中经常提出的问题。

This project will provide fill substantial gaps in the Australian evidence the health conditions that keep older workers out of the labour market and that diminish their own immediate and long-term livings standards and reduce funds available to government. We will address one of the most significant issues resulting fundamental changes to the demography of the Australian labour market and one is regularly raised by the Prime Minister and Treasurer in their speeches following the Intergenerational Report.
