“…A variety of super schemes operate around the world with varying degrees of success, but all tend to have similar problems with providing aging cohorts with adequate retirement funding (Howe et al, 2007;Woodland, 2016;Lim & Cowling, 2016). Ironically as policymakers became aware of the retirement problems engendered by increasing longevity among populations coupled to a shrinking labor supply, they formulated legislation that was often well intentioned but only partly addressed the problem and which was often dogged by unforeseen consequences such as resistance to increased immigration (Barr & Diamond, 2008;Vignon, 2005).…”

The objective of this study is to highlight the superannuation industry in Australia as an exemplar and then compare this to other countries. To this end, an overview of the literature in the field considers various countries and their approaches. What emerges is that profound inequities in retirement funding will continue unless policies change. Superannuation tends to work well for males who are employed full time but less well for females in general and other groups such as the long-term unemployed, self-employed, contractors, transient populations, indigenous and people with illness and addictions. Having entire cohorts of citizens cascade into poverty upon retirement is a political embarrassment and a human rights issue. This is effectively a wicked problem that can be addressed by well-designed proactive social marketing and redesigned government and industry policy. Governments and industry should work together to find a way to augment the retirement plans of females and other marginalized groups.

“…Ageing may also pressure revenues, creating a need for higher tax rates. The economic literature on the effects of ageing on revenues is fairly limited and the outcomes depend heavily on modelling assumptions (Woodland, 2016). Ageing will likely weigh on tax revenues from labour income.…”
