  "summary": "Australian households are expected to shrink, but people are likely to live longer. According to the Treasury's latest intergenerational report, life expectancy at birth is forecast to rise.\n\nBy 2066, life expectancy at birth is projected to reach 89 for women and 86 for men. As a result, more Australians can expect to live well into their 90s.\n\nThe report projects the impact of government policies 40 years into the future and will be published in full on Monday.",
