Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the intergenerational report is about making “big shifts” in the economy and society work for Australians rather than against them. “Our population will grow more slowly, our people will live longer and healthier lives, and our care economy will become an even more central focus in the decades ahead,” Mr Chalmers said in a press conference on Monday. “What the report intends to do in a way which is a bit broader than the last couple, is to build our understanding of the five big shifts that are underway in our economy and our society.”
