Best Answer

The size of the workforce becomes smaller and so there are less people able to keep the country running. At the same time, the increased number of older persons puts more demands on the workforce in terms of their often increased care and medical needs, and also on the social security costs to the government. People are encouraged to remain in the workforce longer than traditionally accepted to alleviate the shortage of workers. This is not a bad thing, as age does not equal unproductiveness. Also, migration is increased to try and supply workers, and families are encouraged to have more children As Peter Costello famously said, "one for mum, one for dad, and one for Australia"! The aging population is a result of the tendency towards smaller family size in the last generation or two.
