| Annotation | The results are presented of a research project conducted in Northern Ireland focusing on women and pensions. The paper suggests that, in the broader rethink of pensions policy in the UK, central consideration should be given to constructing policies which more clearly relate to the needs and circumstances of women. Indications are that the pensions industry is starting to share the views of those voluntary organisations representing pensioners, that the way forward lies in strengthening the basic state pension rather than developing ever more complex forms of means-testing.
