Australia's top economists oppose the next increases in compulsory super: new poll
The five consecutive hikes in compulsory super contributions due to start next July should be deferred or abandoned in the view of the overwhelming majority of the leading Australian economists surveyed by the Economic Society of Australia and The Conversation.
Two thirds — 29 of the 44 surveyed — want the increases deferred or abandoned. Only 13 think they should proceed as planned.
An even larger majority, including some economists who want the increases to proceed, believe they will hit wage growth. Several are concerned they will hit employment.
