Paul, Realistically though, the population of Australia
is ageing and it will become more and more dependent
on young people to drive the economy. It may therefore be
worthwhile to also discuss the kind of skills that will
be required for the young in future job markets because
the world of jobs and the skills required is also
changing.

.... more dependent on young people to drive the economy ..
Foxy,
Due to COVID-19 it may just turn out that it'll be the older generating the funding that the young people will depend on to drive the economy. As the young will be more tied to their jobs, the older who travel will be the ones spending their money ! More & more, older people are selling out to enjoy their money & that will free up housing needed by the younger.

Lots of people are exploiting fear from Islamaphobes to climate alarmists and anti-vaxxers. People are over motivated by fear of things that they don't understand.

Is fear driving the world?
No mental illness is.
