SUPERMEN, WOMEN AND PENSIONERS THE POLITICS OF SUPERANNUATION REFORM

SUPERMEN, WOMEN AND PENSIONERS THE POLITICS OF SUPERANNUATION REFORM At a time when the future of the British state pension is being debated events in Australia provide an interesting example of an alternative approach. This article examines the introduction in Australia of the 1992 Superannuation Guarantee Charge Bills SGC. The article considers the key debates which accompanied the SGC along with the role of the Australian Council of Trade Unions ACTU, the poverty lobby and employer organisations in the reform process. The Australian model can not simply be transposed to the UK but the politics of reform in this case illustrate the issues of equity, exclusion and social division that are likely to arise. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy Emerald Publishing

Abstract

At a time when the future of the British state pension is being debated events in Australia provide an interesting example of an alternative approach. This article examines the introduction in Australia of the 1992 Superannuation Guarantee Charge Bills SGC. The article considers the key debates which accompanied the SGC along with the role of the Australian Council of Trade Unions ACTU, the poverty lobby and employer organisations in the reform process. The Australian model can not simply be transposed to the UK but the politics of reform in this case illustrate the issues of equity, exclusion and social division that are likely to arise.
