| Annotation | The National Pensions Savings Scheme (NPSS) was a recommendation of the Pensions Commission. This report presents key findings of a review of academic and other published research on whether NPIS would add to total household savings. The review is intended to assist the government in assessing NPSS and other options for delivering personal accounts and reforming private pensions. The review is in two main parts. The first summarises a wide range of research of potential relevance to the assessment of the net impact of the proposed NPSS on household savings. This encompasses macroeconomic studies of the impact of changes on pension savings on total savings, and microeconomic studies looking at the impact of tax incentives and matching contributions on voluntary savings, the impact on total savings of changes in mandatory or quasi-mandatory funded savings schemes, and the impact of automatic enrolment. The second part discusses the implications of the research for the assessment of the impact of the NPSS on total household savings. (RH). |
