FINANCIAL (IN)SECURITY IN LATER LIFE: WOMEN, WORK , SUPERANNUATION AND AUSTRALIA'S RETIREMENT INCOME SYSTEM

预计人口老龄化将导致人口、社会和劳动力市场发生重大变化，再加上财政压力，将影响国家和私人退休收入规定的未来组合。然而，与这些变化有关的基于性别的问题仍然没有得到充分研究。将采用生命过程方法，采用定性方法探讨以下方面之间的相互关系：妇女的劳动力参与、教育、婚姻状况、生育率、金融知识;退休收入;优惠、福利;以及妇女晚年的经济保障。这项研究将为制定和执行退休收入政策以及关于劳动力市场两性平等的辩论做出重大贡献。

An ageing population is expected to contribute to significant demographic, social and labour market shifts, which, together with fiscal stresses, will affect the future mix of state and private retirement income provisions. However, gender-based issues associated with these changes remain under-researched. Using a life-course approach qualitative methodologies will be used to explore inter-relationships between: women's workforce participation, education, marital status, fertility, financial literacy; retirement incomes;concessions, benefits; and women's economic security in later years. The research will make a significant contribution to the development and implementation of retirement income policy and the debate on gender equity in the labour market.
