Jane Wrightson: Retirement Commissioner on the number of self-employed people contributing to their KiwiSaver

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.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
