2013 Keith Hancock Lecture by Scientia Professor John Piggott

Busy Sydney city street

Retirement Income design with and Ageing Demographic

CEPAR in conjunction with The Academy of The Social Sciences in Australia and UNSW, is pleased to present the 2013 Keith Hancock Lecture by Scientia Professor John Piggott, a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia.

Population ageing has challenged the standard 20th century retirement income paradigm, which relies on ever-growing payrolls to finance retirees. These structures have become unsustainable in many countries, and public promises have not been kept.

In this lecture, the challenges of retirement income provision in an era of demographic ageing are explained, and alternative approaches to the financing and design of retirement incomes are explored. Research analysis will be combined with country experience to argue for a set of policies suitable for this new demographic environment.
