| Annotation | The relationships between people's economic and social circumstances, their knowledge of pensions, attitudes to retirement planning, and saving behaviour is examined. The report is based on interviews with some 1,800 adults aged 18+ interviewed for the National Statistics Omnibus Survey in March 2002. It follows up questions similar to those in the previous report from the Department of Social Security (DSS), Pensions 2000. The present report explores the extent and nature of private pension provision among people of working age, and non-pensions savings and investments. It examines people's awareness, level of knowledge, sources of information on, and take-up of stakeholder pensions since they were introduced in April 2001. People's expectations of retirement - including the age at which they expect to retire - are considered in terms of the extent to which people have planned their retirement. A number of dimensions in attitudes towards pensions came to light in the research, and the sample population is segmented according to these attitudes. (RH). |
