Dr Michelle Reyers, Policy Lead, Retirement Commission provides a preview of the findings from new research about KiwiSaver contributions behaviour ahead of the release of the full report in April. 

Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission commissioned the New Zealand Policy Research Institute at AUT to examine KiwiSaver members’ characteristics to understand how contribution behaviour differs across gender, age, ethnicity and income levels. This is new information drawn from Stats NZ’s Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI), which allows KiwiSaver contribution rates to be investigated from April 2019. 

Dr Michelle Reyers is the Policy Lead at Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission where she is responsible for providing insights and advice related to trends and issues for retired people, and those approaching retirement, to inform retirement policy development. Before joining the Commission, she was a senior lecturer in the School of Economics and Finance at Massey University, where her teaching and research focused on financial decision making and behavioural aspects connected to these decisions. She received her PhD in Finance from the University of Pretoria, South Africa in 2014. She is a CFA® Charter holder and, prior to her academic career, spent 10 years working in the finance industry.
