| Annotation | This summary outlines findings from a study aimed at increasing our understanding of how self-employed people plan financially for retirement, how they make decisions about saving and retirement, and about how self-employment can play a role in extending people's working lives. The study also sought to shed light on how self-employment differs from employment in the barriers and incentives the self-employed face in saving for retirement. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 40 self-employed people aged 40+ (19 men and 21 women, with annual earnings up to £30000), including some who had reached State Pension Age (SPA). The report's key findings are outlined on: working as self-employed; financial products and information; thinking about and moving from self-employment to retirement; and policy implications. (RH). |
