How Australia saves 2017 – A report on superannuation data
This report is the product of a collaboration with Sunsuper, one of Australia’s largest multi-industry superannuation funds with over one million member accounts and $36.3 billion in member benefits under administration at 30 June 2016.
The focus of How Australia Saves is on member-level experiences and behaviours in the Australian superannuation system.
The methodology used involves in-depth analysis of choices, default outcomes and responses to incentives at an individual member level, aggregated into meaningful demographic or behavioural cohorts where appropriate. It adds considerable depth to the understanding of how the Australian superannuation system works, and creates a good foundation from which to analyse the impact of future policy developments and product innovations as they unfold.
