| Annotation | The late 1980s saw a major shift in pension provision in the UK, when for the first time individuals were permitted to opt out of part of the social security programme into individual retirement savings accounts (personal pensions). At the same time, membership of company-provided pension plans (occupational schemes) was made voluntary. This paper explores the possible impact of these and other related changes in social security in the 1980s and 1990s in the UK on household saving rates, on current and future public finances, on retirement, and on the job mobility of individuals covered by company pension plans.
