| Annotation | There are major concerns about the future of pensions, and many individuals are confused about, and have little confidence in, the current schemes. In this submission to the House of Commons Work and and Pensions Committee, Age Concern England (ACE) suggests that this situation may be deterring people from saving, and points to gaps in our knowledge about pensions and savings. ACE's evidence also covers: the balance between state and private provision; occupational pensions; the state second pension (S2P) and stakeholder pensions; compulsory saving and non-pension provision; information and advice about pensions and savings; and active ageing, retirement and pension age. The needs of current older people should be recognised, and ways of avoiding the problems of low income and social exclusion must be considered in future policy. (RH). |
