The Colloquium is co-hosted by the ARC Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research (CEPAR) and the School of Risk & Actuarial Studies, UNSW Business School. It is a unique annual event, bringing together academics (from economics, finance, actuarial studies, and related disciplines), government and industry to discuss the latest research on pensions, superannuation, and retirement.

Submissions to be included in the program of the 32^nd Colloquium on Pensions and Retirement Research and the IPRA sponsored online session are specifically invited on:

• The retirement phase, including drawdown of retirement saving
• Financial decision-making support - including advice, guidance, nudges and defaults
• Preservation versus access to savings in a DC system
• ESG, climate risk and superannuation/pensions

Contributions are also welcome on other topics related to pensions and retirement, which may include but are not limited to:

Public pensions and sustainable fiscal policy; taxation of superannuation/pensions; superannuation/pensions and labour markets; regulation and performance of superannuation/pension funds; use of housing assets in old age; financing aged care costs; financial literacy and financial education; longevity and healthy life expectancy; cognitive decline and financial decisions of older adults; and gender issues in superannuation/pensions.

Early career researchers and research students (including PhD, Masters, and Honours students) are particularly encouraged to make a submission. A cash prize will be awarded for the ‘Best Student Presentation.’

The deadline for submission is 19 August 2024.
