Working paper: Human capital and productive ageing
A new Working Paper from CEPAR's Vanessa Loh and Hal Kendig looks at productive ageing across the life course.
An uncertain economic outlook and the certitude of an ageing population highlight the importance of productivity across all age groups for Australia’s future. This paper provides national findings on both paid, tax-generating and unpaid, voluntary productivity across the life course, focusing primarily on the baby boomer cohort now in late middle age.Findings from Wave 10 (2010) of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey are presented showing productive activities including paid work, volunteering, caregiving, childcare, and domestic work.
The findings reinforce the value of investment in human capital for productivity across the lifespan inclusive of middle and late life. The Government can lead action to enhance and recognise these contributions that benefit the social standing and well being of ageing individuals as well as bring economic and social benefits to the broader community.

NEW Working paper
Unexpected results in consumer investment choice
In this working paper the authors, including CEPAR's Hazel Bateman and Isabella Dobrescu, set up laboratory experiments to examine how consumers used 'user‐friendly' information prescribed by regulators to choose retirement savings investment options.
The results highlight that information contained in prescribed investment disclosures may not be used in the manner intended by the regulator.

Featured Research
This Journal of Health Economics paper uses a unique data-set that covers the entire population of Norway to determine whether retirement age, on its own, impacts mortality. Having begun during a 2012 visit to CEPAR by Associate Investigators Erik Hernaes and Simen Markussen from the Frisch Centre in Norway, it eventually involved John Piggott and Ola Vestad from Statistics Norway.
