Environmental Scan
Increasing Ageing Population Australia
Environmental scan first looks into demographic changes of increasing ageing population in Australia. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2019 the results show that there is an increased of 12.3% to 15.9%, between the year of 1999 and 2019 for those who are age 65 and above. This changes also highlights different demographic segments entering the workforce, mainly generation Z replacing baby boomers and generation x entering their retiring stage. Overall, this shows an opportunity to satisfy varying demand for assistance as different generation have different needs and wants to be fulfilled.
With an increasing age and life expectancy of Australians, personal service and home care industries are useful, as they cater to the varying needs of different demographic segments. For example the hiring of personal assistance for time management, work research or gardening to medical and health services for the old or differently abled , the ability to capture these industry would be immense for MUSE. With 1.5bn revenue and 22.6bn revenue and growth rate of 7.9% and 2.8% in the last 5 years, this highlights the growing demand of these industry, that Muse should capitalise on.
Adoption of Gig Economy in Australia
With new generation entering the workforce and older generation retiring, there is change in the perspective view of Australians. Whereby, more and more employees are choosing to be casual workers than contract worker doing 9 to 5 job. This change signifies the emergence of gig economy that could prove crucial for Muse to looked into.
A Survey jointly conducted by Queensland University, University of Adelaide and University Technology of Sydney consisting of 14,000 participants revealed that 7.1%of the participants have used digital platform for work in last 12 months, 15.5% consider gig work as essential and 24.3% think gig economy is an important part of their overall income.
Hence, it goes along with Deloitte Millennial Research , where three quarters of Australian millennials (73 percent) and Gen Zs (74 percent) would consider joining the gig economy.
