Australia's deaths to outnumber births by 2060s, Treasury projects
Australia's population is projected to experience a shift where deaths outnumber births by the 2060s, a demographic point already observed in nations such as Japan and Germany. The Treasury expects the population to reach 39.3 million by 2065-66, lower than previously thought, with immigration driving all growth as birth rates fall.
