Including beneficiaries and under-18s in the Kiwisaver game would make it much more equitable, the Retirement Commissioner says. These are all questions raised by the Interim Retirement Commissioner, Peter Cordtz, in his office's three-yearly review. JOHN HAWKINS/FAIRFAX NZ Under-18 year olds currently are not entitled to a Kiwisaver contribution from their employer, meaning many don't bother to enrol. At the other end of the scale, the commission has recommended over-65 year olds should also get the employer contribution if they're still working. "And that requires housing policy to be connected to the discussion, employment and education policy to be connected as well."
