| Annotation | This research project was undertaken to better understand why people borrow and how borrowing may be mitigated or even avoided among three life stage groups: young adults, people in the family years, and people in post-family years (50s to early 70s). The research involved primary analysis of eight focus groups at these different stages, supported by the literature, secondary analysis of national survey data, and a workshop with experts in the field. In contrast to the pressures to consume of the two younger age groups, the report found that those in the post-family years had generally cautious attitudes to borrowing. The research concludes that policy responses need to focus on the positive advice throughout life of "making money work for you". (RH). |
