Annotation	This is the second in the series on "The changing welfare state" produced by the Department of Social Security (DSS), which sets out the historical context of and future prospects for social security policy and spending. This paper focuses on: pensioners' income and living standards in relation to the rest of the population; inequalities in pensioner incomes; and the Government's policies for poorer pensioners now and in the future. In doing so, the following are answered: what has happened to pensioner incomes; why have average pensioner incomes increased; and why has inequality increased? (RH).
