On paper, New Zealand Super is one of the simplest parts of our welfare system. Most people become eligible at 65. It's not means tested, and for decades it's been treated as a kind of social contract. You work hard, you reach retirement, and the state will be there. But that contract is under growing pressure. As our population ages and governments look for ways to contain long-term costs, the debate keeps returning. Should we raise the age of eligibility? And if we do, who pays the price? Today on the front page, Auckland University Business School Associate Professor Susan St. John is with us to talk about the future of superannuation, the arguments for and against raising the retirement age, and why this debate never stays settled for long.
