An Improved Framework for Analysing the Fiscal Implications of Population Ageing

澳大利亚联邦政府的“澳大利亚老龄化国家战略”明确承认，澳大利亚存在代际冲突的可能性，因为相对较少的年轻人必须为越来越多比例的退休人员提供消费。2002年的代际报告是避免这种冲突的国家规划的重要一步。拟议的项目力求解决《政府间报告》中的主要缺点，并为今后的《全球报告》提供一个改进的框架。该项目涉及指定的国家研究优先事项2中的两个优先目标。这两个目标是：“健康老龄化，高效老龄化”和“加强澳大利亚的社会和经济结构”。

The Commonwealth Government's 'National Strategy for an Ageing Australia' explicitly acknowledged the potential for intergenerational conflict in Australia as relatively fewer young people must provide for the consumption of a growing proportion of retired people. The Intergenerational Report (IGR) in 2002 was an important step in national planning to avoid such a conflict. The proposed project seeks to address major shortcomings in the IGR and provide an improved framework for future IGRs. The project addresses two Priority Goals within the Designated National Research Priority 2. These are: 'Ageing well, ageing productively' and 'strengthening Australia's social and economic fabric'.
