The Plumptre Lecture: Prof. Avni Shah
On March 10, join Prof. Avni Shah, recipient of the 2019/20 Wynne and Beryl Plumptre Research Award, to discuss her groundbreaking research paper Can Making Family Salient Improve Retirement Contributions?

One way that countries and employers have attempted to increase the rate at which individuals save for retirement is by requiring citizens or employees to make mandatory contributions to their retirement savings via public and private pension systems, respectively. However, a recent analysis by the International Longevity Centre found that this is not enough (Franklin and Hochlaf 2017).
