| Annotation | In 2003 and again in 2008 the Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) explored current and future pension incomes of women, disabled people and people from ethnic minority groups. This third in the series explores outcomes for the "under-pensioned", defined as people who have characteristics associated with lower than average levels of pension savings and income. The report examines whether and by how much differences in state and private pension entitlements have changed since the 2003 and 2008 analyses, in light of reforms, and investigates how income differences may be reduced in future. It runs through the high-level results and methodology from the 2008 under-pensioned report, and looks at relevant policy developments since its publication. It uses Labour Force Survey (LFS) data for 2015, the Family Resources Survey (FRS) and the Wealth and Asset Survey to explore the labour market characteristics of different groups, particularly women, ethnic minorities, disabled people, carers, and the self-employed,. It considers what pension income and saving the under-pensioned have; also differences in eligibility for means-tested benefits between under-pensioned groups and the median earning male. Lastlyy, it considers how pension incomes of the under-pensioned might change in the future, and how policies might affect differences in pension income. The report is sponsored by Age UK, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), the People's Pension and the Trades Union Congress (TUC). (RH). |
