| Annotation | The author responds to the Tomorrow Project's report, "The opportunity of a lifetime: reshaping retirement" (2003). Rather than postponing or reshaping retirement as the report advocates, her view is that the current concept of retirement needs to be abandoned altogether and change the way we think about organising people's lives. Although encouraging savings will help, this alone will not remove the risk of poverty and long-term economic decline. The author looks at pension policy, encouraging more private pension provision, and the concept of a Lifetime Savings Account. She notes the challenges for the future for the individual, the government, employers and financial service companies. (RH). |
