Australia stands a good chance of continuing to be a comfortable place for retirees even in the face of big demographic shifts, thanks to immigration.  

• Australia is actively importing skilled labour, which boosts GDP by allowing businesses to grow when they need to. This places Australia at an advantage compared to countries with stricter immigration, such as Japan 
• The skilled migration program is assisting retirees, especially those who rely on the pension, to live a secure retirement. 
• Superannuation is taking pressure off state revenue streams for pensions.
