| Annotation | The White Paper, "Security in retirement: towards a new pension system" (Cm 6841; TSO, 2006), set out proposals for creating a new system of personal accounts and reforms of the State Pension. This quantitative research - undertaken by BMRB on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) - examined individuals' use of the internet, experience of financial planning, and knowledge of pensions issues. Participants were internet users aged 21-55, earning moderate to low incomes. The research was designed to further understand what would help people plan for retirement; and the findings focus on participants' purchase of financial products. Most of the report considers the concept of an internet-based retirement planning tool and participants' views on such a product. (RH). |
