Australian Government Policy on Retirement Incomes

F. H. Gruen

The Economic Record, 1985, vol. 61, issue 3, 613-621

Abstract: Australia has evolved an unusual dual system of retirement incomes support. There is a means‐tested flat rate age pension and a system of occupational superannuation receiving considerable tax concessions. The current system gives rise to four major problems. These are enumerated and possible options for reform discussed.
