| Annotation | As working lives shorten and retirement lengthens, there is concern over whether individuals make adequate provision to avoid poverty in old age. A study by Elenea Bardasi and Stephen P Jenkins of the Institute for Social and Economic Research has examined the relationship between the risk of having a low income in later life and people's lifetime employment history. The study, based on data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), is published in full as "Income in later life: work history matters" (Policy Press, 2002). Its main findings are outlined here, and concern income changes around retirement, and the effects of men's and women's particular life circumstances. (RH). |
