About this Roundtable

Due to China’s rapidly aging population, with 28% of the population being projected to be aged over 60 by 2040, the delegation had a great interest in the Australian approach to tackling their own aging population. 

The discussion focused on Australian superannuation policy, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and the multi-pronged approach taken towards skilled migration.
