National's proposal to make KiwiSaver compulsory could be one of the biggest changes to New Zealand's retirement system in decades. Liam Dann and Tamsyn Parker break down what it would mean for workers, businesses and future retirees. Is compulsory saving the key to closing the wealth gap with Australia?

They also examine new data on the cost of living, wage growth and why so many New Zealanders feel poorer than they did a few years ago. Plus, are younger generations giving up on the traditional Kiwi dream, and what does that mean for our future economy?

The Economy of Everything is brought to you by CMC Markets.
