| Annotation | PPI Briefing Notes clarify topical issues in pensions policy. In 2001, the British Government spent £50 billion (5% of gross domestic product - GDP) on pensions benefits. Although it is difficult to make direct comparisons, most other countries spend a higher proportion of GDP on pensions (an average of 10% in EU countries, and in OECD countries 7.5%). This briefing considers certainties and uncertainties in projections for state expenditure on pension benefit in the next 40 years. (RH). |
