“被遗忘的” 学生贷款可能会损害学生的财务未来

Share:

新西兰学生越来越担心债务增加对未来前景的影响。根据Studylink的网站,在过去六年中,学生每周可以借的生活费用的金额增加了100多美元。4月1日,该金额将增加略高于20美元,达到每周302美元。

对于贷款额度最高的学生,他们每年将获得超过15,000美元的生活费用贷款。新西兰学生协会联盟(NZUSA)主席艾伦·迪克森表示,大多数学生会全额付款,每周工作30到40个小时才能继续学习。迪克森说,这种生活方式是不健康的,学生无法全神贯注地学习。她还担心年轻人对债务影响的了解不足。

绿党同意并认为,学生需要的不仅仅是 “创可贴” 解决方案来应对不断上涨的生活成本。高等教育发言人克洛伊·斯沃布里克说,该党的研究表明,三分之二的学生通常负担不起房租、食物和电费账单等基本费用。斯沃布里克认为,增加贷款资金只会使情况变得更糟。

迪克森说,学生不必在学习和买房之间做出选择。过去,对申请人消费习惯的详细分类是首次购房者获得抵押贷款批准的障碍。她担心我们的下一代学生可能会看到更多这样的情况,尤其是在他们继续使用 Afterpay 等先买后付服务来度过难关的时候。

澳新银行的一位经济学家迈尔斯·沃克曼表示,平均工资的总体增长可能足以满足不断增加的学生贷款。但是,沃克曼说,还有一个更大的问题会对学生产生经济影响:养老金制度的建立有利于老一代,因为我们实行 “随用随付” 制度。

新西兰USA和绿党希望进行高等教育重组,斯沃布里克表示,全民学生补贴将是有益的。目前,只有三分之一的学生每周领取279美元的学生津贴。斯沃布里克说,教育部自2021年以来的最新数据显示,提供全民学生津贴将比该数字增加约22%。
