This paper examines the impact of the global financial crisis (GFC) on employed Australian baby boomers.
A nationally representative sample of 1009 boomers aged 50-64 years completed a survey by telephone interview mid 2009.
Compared with 1 year ago, 38.9% of working boomers reported being financially worse off and this was more so for women (42.4%) than men (35.6%). Following the GFC, 41.4% of women and 31.9% of men had decided to postpone their retirement plans.
The GFC is affecting the retirement preparations and plans of Australia's baby boomers. Policy implications include reduced resources for retirement needs, and uneven and differential impacts for those with interrupted employment histories, notably women.
本文探讨全球金融危机(GFC)对澳大利亚就业婴儿潮一代的影响。
2009年年中,对1009名年龄在50 - 64岁的具有全国代表性的婴儿潮一代样本进行了电话访谈调查。
与一年前相比,38.9%的在职婴儿潮一代表示经济状况变差,女性(42.4%)比男性(35.6%)情况更严重。全球金融危机之后,41.4%的女性和31.9%的男性决定推迟退休计划。
全球金融危机正在影响澳大利亚婴儿潮一代的退休准备和计划。政策影响包括退休所需资源减少,以及对就业经历中断者,尤其是女性产生不均衡和不同的影响。
