| Annotation | 'Asset accumulation across the life course' explores changing patterns of asset holding among different age cohorts in the UK. It uses British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) data from 1995, 2000, 2004 and 2005, which included detailed questions about household finances. During this time, net household incomes increased for all age groups over and above inflation. Overall, households were less likely to be contributing to a private pension in 2005 than in 1995. As well as comparing incomes, savings and pensions over the 10-year period, this report also looks at trends in liquid assets and debts, illiquid assets and (property) debts, and inequality. A policy report, 'Asset accumulation in focus: the challenges ahead' was published simultaneously by ILC UK to provide accompanying policy analysis and discussion. (RH). |
