semihibernation

So much of the world is in economic decline, as we all know... Many economists believe that this will be a sort of "silent depression", leaving the young people of today with no retirement funds in their later years, realizing that they are unable to make ends meet. I'm wondering how I can escape this fate.
More specifically, I'm considering moving to Australia, as my surface assessment of the situation there seems a lot better. Is this true? I am led to believe that the cost of living is lower, while in many cases the average pay may be higher for many jobs. This all seems too good to be true, so I'm wondering what's the reality of this situation.
Does anyone think this would be a good idea? If not, what are our other options?
