| Annotation | "Shaping a stable pensions solution" is a project carried out by the Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) and funded by the Nuffield Institute. Some 80 experts from more than 40 organisations were invited to five seminar discussions of specific research questions. Each chapter of this report covers one of the seminar topics, noting points of consensus from the debates. Following an overview of the consensus solution, the remaining chapters answer five questions. First, what should be the balance between state and private pensions? Second, what should be the role of means-testing in state pensions? Third, should state pensions be universal or contributory? Fourth, should earnings-related pensions be voluntary or compulsory? Lastly, how does the interaction of state and private pensions affect incentives to work and save? An appendix gives details of PPI's individual model (IM) that is used to estimate the amounts of state or private pension income that individuals with different levels of earnings might expect to receive when they reach age 65 in 2050. All material gathered at the seminars is available on the PPI website. (RH). |
