The three-quarter life crisis: Australians over 50 choosing how they live with age
- More than a half of Australians over 50 believe the mid-life crisis is a thing of the past
- Australians are living longer compared to previous generations
- More than three-quarters believe society is ill-prepared for the average life expectancy to increase to 100
- Australian Seniors aim to shed light on the issues faced by older Australians and ensure they are well prepared for the future
More than a half (54%) of Australians over 50 believe the mid-life crisis is a thing of the past and is increasingly being replaced with the three-quarter life crisis.
As the average life expectancy in Australia continues to increase, Australians are retiring later, starting families later– even pursuing pastimes later in life. As such, some of the reported triggers for those experiencing the three-quarter life crisis are anxiety-led.
The Australian Seniors Series: 100 Year Lifespan report reveals that a third (32%) of respondents admit to experiencing a three-quarter life crisis, and almost half (46%) have seen others go through one.
Consequently, the vast majority (82%) of seniors feel it is important to be a self-funded retiree, with one in five (21%) saying this is extremely important to them. However, 76% believe society is ill-prepared for the average life expectancy to reach 100 with a lack of aged care facilities seen to be a key contributor (75%).
Australian Seniors is shedding light on the issues faced by older Australians and aim to shift the public perception of ageism whilst ensuring seniors are prepared for the future
