The infographic by Ashton Jones shows how retirement systems often protect money from life instead of helping it serve life. In Papua New Guinea, these aren't just mental traps, they are deep, systemic, and gendered financial risks that hit women and young adults hardest. To build true economic resilience, our superannuation ecosystem must evolve. In my latest article, I unpack this reality using the GIPS framework and look at how local heavyweights like nasfund, Nambawan Super, and Comrade Trustee Services Limited are actively dismantling these traps through micro-contributions, flexible frameworks, and robust retirement readiness tools. #PNGFinance #Superannuation #GenderInclusion #EconomicResilience #GIPS #Nasfund #FinancialInclusion #RetirementPlanning
