Jane Wrightson: Retirement Commissioner on the number of self-employed people contributing to their KiwiSaver
Description
Self-employed Kiwis are prioritising their businesses rather than thinking about retirement.
A report by the Retirement Commission and accounting firm Hnry shows just 44% of self-employed people actively contribute to KiwiSaver.
This is compared to 78% of employees.
The report also reveals 41% of self-employed workers don't get any government KiwiSaver contribution.
Retirement Commissioner Jane Wrightson told Mike Hosking they're having to make trade-offs.
She says employees get contributions from their employers, but self-employed people are having to pay themselves.
