| Keeping seniors and women in work will help Australia beat the problem of an ageing population, Social Services Minister Kevin Andrews says.
He also says immigration needed to be kept to an "orderly flow" to bring benefits to both Australia and source countries.
Mr Andrews told the C20 forum in Melbourne that ageing populations would put pressure on the budgets of all developed nations.
He said governments had to look at how to improve workforce participation for marginalised groups.
"This includes special attention to the participation rates of mature age job seekers and those with disabilities," Mr Andrews said on Saturday.
