We study behavioural factors that drive individuals’ decisions so we can craft solutions that work in practice, not just in theory. We conduct rigorous, objective and unbiased research on relevant social, economic, political, human resource and social-environmental problems facing the state, region and world.
Our areas of research include:
- Impact of Social Security program rules on individuals’ work and retirement decisions
- Macroeconomic and financial effects of changes in Social Security policy on national saving, investment, and economic growth
- Implication of trends in Social Security, private pensions, and private savings for future retirement income security
- Interactions of Social Security with other public and private programs
- International research on pension and Social Security issues
- Distributional effects of proposed Social Security reforms
- Impact of demographic and social change on Social Security
Our researchers are highly committed and experienced faculty members of Faculty of Economics and Administration, Faculty of Business and Accountancy and other institutions of higher education. SWRC welcomes applicants to undertake research in a number of issues relating to Social Security in Malaysia.
