Retirees are being blocked from accessing the money trapped in their property as banks pull out of the reverse mortgage market, fuelling a growing income inequality among older Australians.<\/p>\n

The Household Capital white paper findings – backed by former superannuation minister Nick Sherry, former chair of the Productivity Commission\u00a0Peter Harris and Per Capita founder Joshua Funder – said while 80 per cent of retired Australians own their own home the economy has failed to adequately fund their retirements.<\/p>\n
