| Annotation | Age Concern England (ACE) carried out this survey to find out more about the impact of caring on pensions. The survey was completed by 624 women, most of whom were aged 45 to 74. This report outlines the findings regarding: living standards in retirement; factors affecting ability to save; and issues around building up a private pension, financial independence, and the impact of state pension reforms. While it is acknowledged that women will benefit from changes being introduced in the Pensions Bill (published November 2006), they are still likely to miss out on private provision. (RH). |
