New Zealand’s ageing population poses many economic challenges. The RPRC is an academically focused centre specialising in the economic issues of demographic change. The RPRC’s sphere of interest includes public provision of retirement income (New Zealand superannuation) and the accumulation and decumulation phases of retirement saving. International debate is facilitated through pensionreforms, a pensions website hosted by the RPRC. The RPRC produces a regular newsletter outlining current events and research.
