澳大利亚面临40,000个单位的退休村庄短缺,威胁到老年人获得住房的机会。 Australia faces a 40,000-unit retirement village shortfall, threatening elderly housing access.

澳大利亚面临退休村庄住房严重短缺的问题,计划在今后五年内新建的单位只有18 000个,远远低于由于人口迅速老化而估计需要的60 000个单位。 Australia faces a severe shortage of retirement village housing, with only 18,000 new units planned in the next five years—far below the estimated 60,000 needed due to a rapidly aging population. 专家警告说,40 000个单元的差距威胁到老年人获得住房的机会,老年人受益于改善健康、社会联系和退休社区住院率降低。 Experts warn the 40,000-unit gap threatens access to housing for older adults, who benefit from improved health, social connection, and lower hospitalization rates in retirement communities. 土地供应有限,特别是在理想的城市地区,以及住宅开发商的竞争阻碍了进展。 Limited land availability, especially in desirable urban areas, and competition from residential developers hinder progress. 倡导者敦促决策者指定更多的土地用于退休生活,并承认其在保健和城市规划方面的作用。 Advocates urge policymakers to designate more land for retirement living and recognize its role in healthcare and urban planning.
