Business leaders, economists and seniors groups are urging Anthony Albanese to develop an ambitious blueprint aimed at encouraging older Australians to stay in the workforce for longer as a way to ease the growing tax burden on the young while the country’s population ages. The policy prescriptions include raising the pension age again, delaying when superannuation can be accessed, allowing people to work more hours without losing the aged pension, increasing training programs for older workers, and pushing for an end to age discrimination in the workforce.
One of the key messages from Treasury’s Intergenerational Report, released yesterday, is that Australia will have a dwindling pool of workers over the next 40 years as the population’s average age increases. The Treasurer Jim Chalmers says he wants to get older people working if they want to. But older workers say they face significant challenges to stay in the workforce. And advocates say it’s time to get rid of the bureaucratic redtape.
