Treasury's intergenerational report projects Australians will live significantly longer over the next four decades.
Australia's Treasury Department will publish its latest intergenerational report on Monday, projecting life expectancy at birth will reach 89 years for women and 86 years for men by 2066, according to the report preview.
The forecast indicates more Australians will live well into their 90s, though household sizes are expected to shrink. The report models the long-term impact of government policies over a 40-year horizon.
