Abstract: This paper focuses on New Zealand's longevity trends and their relevance to the age of eligibility for New Zealand Superannuation (NZS). The age of eligibility for NZS was a key issue in the 2010 and previous Reviews of Retirement Income Policy. The paper investigates longevity trends as a driver for considering reform of the age of eligibility, including possible ways in which the age of eligibility could be linked to forecasts of future life expectancy.
