Abstract: Abstract Since the Australian government introduced the Higher Education Contribution scheme (HECS) in 1989, a number of countries have adopted income contingent loans (ICL) as a method of financing higher education. The advantages of income contingent loans have been thrown into sharper relief by the crisis surrounding student loan debt in the United States, where financing is provided through traditional mortgage-type loans.
