Project Description
The projects tell us how withdrawing super can impact our retirement and how many more years you have to work if you want to re-earn the super amount you withdrew. This will provide stats to the government to target financial stimulus based on the broad industry sector so that no one is left disadvantaged.
Once you select the broad industry sector you are working the following stats are displayed :
1) Average Super contributed per annum per person for the selected sector
2) Total jobs lost in the selected broad industry (based on % job loss in each sector from AFR).
3) How much super will be lost in total over time if $20k is withdrawn. (considering the time value of money and interest lost).
4) The average time the person would have to work more to regain the lost super
5) Average super contribution in the industry by gender
6) Impact on the existing Super Gender Gap. How many years would women have to work more compared to men to regain the lost super in any specific industry.
