35 Vanguard | How Australia Retires

Appendix: Methodology

This How Australia Retires report was prepared following a robust survey conducted on behalf of Vanguard in
late 2022, with a nationally representative sample of 1,814 Australians aged 18+ years old. Just over one fifth
of the sample described themselves as retirees (with participants adopting their own definition of ‘retired’ for
this purpose), with the remainder identifying as working-age Australians. The online survey aimed to better
understand the way Australians across different age groups feel towards retirement, how they prepare for
retirement, and the role that superannuation plays in that preparation.
