Self-employed people are opting out of KiwiSaver, putting their retirements at risk.
A new report from the Retirement Commission and accounting firm Hnry's reveals only 44% of self-employed people actively contribute compared to 78% of employees.
It shows 41% of self-employed workers don't get any government contribution.
