" New South Wales is set to experience a major demographic shift, with the number of people aged over 65 to double by 2030, Minister for Ageing Kristina Keneally told Parliament.
“The Iemma Government recognises that the ageing of the population will have wide ranging social and economic impacts. That is why we are planning now for a long-term response to these issues,” Ms Keneally said. Ms Keneally said the Iemma Government will convene Ageing 2030, a roundtable held at Parliament House on 30 and 31 October to plan for the opportunities and challenges of population ageing."
