Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill: Discussion

Dr. Laura Bambrick:

Our understanding is it is when people leave university, take that gap year and take their first full-time job. There probably is good solid evidence behind that. We have one of the highest rates of young people going to third level. As we mention, however, we still have a sizeable number of young people who do not take the academic route. It should be designed with them in mind as well by reducing the age for that. Twenty-three is based on going to college or university, taking a bit of time off and getting that first full-time job.
