Saving our savings: Kiwisaver and the New Zealand Superannuation Fund

Abstract

Retirement savings pose a challenge to governments throughout the OECD. But for nearly 20 years, from 1988 to 2007, New Zealand provided no incentives at all for private retirement savings - and not surprisingly these declined. The New Zealand Superannuation Fund and Kiwisaver were belated attempts to address this gap in policy. Now they've been weakened. Lisa Marriott says it's time for New Zealand to get its head out of the sand.
