| Annotation | As working lives shorten and retirement lengthens, there is concern over whether individuals make adequate provision to avoid poverty in old age. This study - conducted at the Institute for Social and Economic Research, University of Essex - uses data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and information about work histories, to examine the relationship between the risk of having a low income in later life and people's lifetime employment history. The study is part of a project on "Retirement, income, and work history", financed by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) as part of its "Transitions after 50" research initiative. The report's findings concern income changes around retirement, the nature of the relationship between a person's income in old age and his or her employment history during working life, and the effects of men's and women's particular life circumstances.
