| Annotation | This report presents the findings from a survey on people's attitudes to pensions and financial preparations for later life. A randomly selected sample of 1,949 adults in Great Britain took part in the survey between February and June 2012. The results of this survey are compared with those in the two previous surveys carried out in 2006 and 2009. The findings from the survey cover: people's resources for later life and the characteristics of people who have no resources for later life; membership of workplace pension schemes; people's attitudes towards saving for later life; and the relationship between attitudes and behaviour. There are also findings related to these areas of government policy: people's views on automatic enrolment into workplace pensions; people's knowledge of increases in State Pension age (SPA); and attitudes to redefining retirement. Respondents' self-assessed knowledge and actual knowledge of pensions are both described. A summary of this research (4 pp) is also available. (RH). |
