Using data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (HILDA), the paper will examine the retirement plans of people aged 45-54 years.

The paper will explore the age group’s intended retirement age and how various factors such as gender, occupation, income, health, homeownership and level of community participation affect the planned timing of their retirement.

Using results from the Workforce Circumstances and Retirement Attitudes Survey, the paper will consider the push and pull factors affecting their retirement decision and assess people’s level of superannuation and savings and how this might affect their retirement decision.
