Australia's intergenerational report forecasts deaths exceeding births by the 2060s amid lower growth and AI transformation.
Australia's latest intergenerational report projects that deaths will outnumber births by the 2060s due to falling fertility rates and an ageing population. The report forecasts lower economic growth, with real GDP per person expanding about 1.2% over the next 40 years, down from 1.5% in the previous four decades. Treasurer Jim Chalmers highlighted AI as pivotal to future productivity growth and described the report as illuminating the road ahead amid global challenges.
