| Annotation | AARP has designed an international retirement security survey to explore issues that are central to retirement income security across various countries. This survey for the UK is one of ten, based on opinions about retirement security. More than 4,000 respondents aged 30-65 (about 400 in each country) were included in a telephone survey which was administered for AARP by Harris International in May/June 2005. The main aim of the study is to improve our understanding of attitudes and behaviours surrounding personal and national retirement issues, and to assess the public's confidence in having sufficient income to retire comfortably, attend to their health and long-term care needs, and live securely after leaving the workforce. Overall, results point to a lack of confidence in the government's ability to provide adequate health and retirement benefits, now or in the future. Rather, UK residents are more likely to support an across-the-board tax increase for all workers. The report includes graphs comparing UK survey results with those of the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Japan. (RH). |
