According to the Treasury's latest intergenerational report, life expectancy at birth is projected to reach 89 for women and 86 for men by 2066. This report forecasts the impact of government policies 40 years into the future.\n\nThe report also suggests that more Australians can expect to live well into their 90s. The full report is set to be published on Monday.\n\nThe projections indicate a change in household structure and demographics in Australia over the coming decades.",
