Go8 universities critical to facing intergenerational challenges
The Group of Eight (Go8) acknowledges the important role Australia’s higher education sector must play in meeting the challenges outlined today by the Federal Treasurer in the 2021 Intergenerational Report.
“Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has highlighted three central challenges facing future generations of Australians: our rapidly ageing population, the increasing pressure this will place on the Government’s Budget, and that Australia’s economic growth will continue to be dependent on productivity gains.
“Universities can and must play a fundamental role in supporting the Australian Government and the broader community as we manage these intergenerational challenges,” said Go8 Chief Executive Vicki Thomson.
