| Annotation | The impact of being 'under pensioned' is estimated, by comparing the pension incomes of different individuals against the 'policy stereotype' (a man, working continuously from age 21 to retiring at 65, with median earnings at each age and a private contribution of 8% of salary). This report outlines which groups are most at risk of low pension income today, and the relative importance of each of these groups. It identifies the specific causes of low pension income. Examples are given of the groups particularly at risk from each cause. The report examines how recent changes in the UK pension system will change the relative risk of low pension income for these groups. (RH). |
