Saving for retirement in Great Britain: April 2018 to March 2020
What's in the bulletin?
- Between April 2018 and March 2020, more people below State Pension age (57%) were actively saving for retirement using private pensions than before automatic enrolment was introduced in 2012 (43%); however, there was still much inequality in pensions wealth in Great Britain.
- Among working-aged people yet to retire, those who were self-employed (compared with employees), had a long-standing illness or disability (compared with no disability), or were from minority ethnic groups, had lower pension wealth on average than their counterparts because of lower participation rates and smaller pension pots.
- Almost a third of people did not expect to have any pension provision beyond the State Pension when they retired.
