Income Related Loans are an arrangement in which finance is provided to groups in specific sometimes adverse, situations, conditional on the activity having public benefits, with some part of this support being repaid depending on future economic success. This project will extend principles for the application of a new and internationally innovative public policy, income related loans (IRL) to areas of social need. The principle application of IRL to date has been in higher education (HECS), and applications for some areas of economic and industry support have also been considered. It is the premise of this project that there are also important possible socially beneficial IRL applications. There are two separate aspects of the proposal. First, the project seeks to demonstrate that social investment of this IRL kind is also viable and suitable and can potentially assist with meeting better a range of social needs in a demographically ageing society-both by direct attention to support of the aged but also by looking at related demographics that might compensate for ageing eg female work force participation, disability work force participation, higher fertility and immigration. Second, extension of IRL to social areas requires understanding of sensitivities in public attitudes to the forms of social support and especially to the introduction of such novel alternatives. A survey approach to public attitudes in this field is therefore a key component of the project. In addition the development of costing methodologies suitable for demonstrating savings from the operation of such deferred payment systems in social areas is essential.

收入相关贷款是一种向处于特定（有时是不利）情况下的群体提供资金的安排，条件是活动具有公共利益，其中部分支持的偿还取决于未来的经济成功。该项目将把新的国际创新公共政策、收入相关贷款（IRL）的应用原则扩展到社会需要的领域。 迄今为止，IRL 的主要应用是高等教育（HECS），并且也考虑了一些经济和产业支持领域的应用。该项目的前提是还存在重要的可能对社会有益的 IRL 应用。 该提案有两个不同的方面。 首先，该项目试图证明这种现实生活中的社会投资也是可行和合适的，并且可以通过直接关注对老年人的支持，以及通过研究可能补偿老龄化的相关人口统计数据，例如女性劳动力参与、残疾劳动力参与、更高的生育率和移民，来帮助更好地满足人口老龄化社会的一系列社会需求。 其次，将现实生活延伸到社会领域需要了解公众对社会支持形式的态度的敏感性，特别是对引入此类新颖替代方案的敏感性。因此，对该领域公众态度的调查方法是该项目的一个关键组成部分。此外，开发适合证明在社会领域运行此类延期付款系统所节省的成本计算方法也至关重要。
