The context/perspective of this research
Over the last thirty years, economic growth and medical technological advances have
contributed to major changes in the quality of life of the developed world (Burkett et al., 2017).
Throughout Australia, the life expectancy over the last 50 years has risen dramatically (Burgan,
2015). An ever growing share of the population is represented by the elderly Australians. In
2013, 14% of the population (3,3 million citizens) were aged 65 years and over while 1.9%
(439,600 persons) were aged 85 years and over (Kulik et al., 2014). By the year, 2053, 21% of
the population aged 65 years and older (8.3 million people) and 4.2% aged 85 and older is
expected to have medium-size growth based on the Australian Statistics Office (ABS)
assumptions. However, this aging of the population would put unsustainable strains on public
spending, with specific concerns about increasing health costs and the capacity of the health care
system to support the growing number of seniors in need of treatment (Poterba, 2014).
Population ageing has been expected to grow the total number of disabled individuals largely
because people in older age groups are higher in number and disability is becoming more
common. ABS 2013 survey results show that just over half (53 percent) of Australians 65 years
of age and over have had disability; this compares to around 16 percent of those aged 25–64 and
7 percent of those under 25 years of age (Keehan et al., 2017). Older people are often more likely
to have a number of long-term illnesses than younger people. Cases are popular among the
elderly, often leading to fractures or other significant damages. The population's aging would
have far-reaching consequences for society. Rising demographic trends, increased competition
for use of health services and increasing insurance costs are main threats to the healthcare
system. This research report concentrates on the potential contribution of an aging population
over the next decades to health and old-age care expenses

MANAGEMENT
Develop a qualitative research question on this topic in this context that clearly identifies
the study population and phenomenon of interest.
Qualitative research questions are aimed at analysing or explaining phenomena and are
mostly formulated more broadly and implicitly. In this subject of the research study, the
qualitative research questions are essential. Some of the qualitative research questions for this
study on “impact of ageing population on health care industry in Australia”.
1. What the current status of the aged population in Australia?
2. What is the impact of aged population in healthcare?
3. What are the factors in aged population affecting the economy of health sector in
Australia?
4. What are the recommended steps that Australian government can take?
Appropriate qualitative study design to address the research question.
Qualitative research design is a general way of looking at things regarding qualitative
research process (Anderson & Irava, 2017). The objective of qualitative research, the position of
the researchers, the research sections and the data analysis methods is described, either explicitly
or implicitly. Perhaps the most versatile of the different experimental approaches, containing a
variety of agreed methods and frameworks, is a qualitative research design.
A consistency approach is used to assemble participants with detailed and rich knowledge
about the research goal in order to assess the current condition of the impact of adult treatment
on the Australian healthcare system (Fan & Savedoff, 2014). Ethnographic approaches are
important in the dynamic and rapidly evolving health environment, not only highlighting how
