| Annotation | The Government's Green Paper, "A new contract for welfare: partnership in pensions" (Cm 4179), proposes fundamental changes to the UK's retirement income system. Members of CASE and of the Department of Social Policy at LSE have looked at the likely implications of the reforms for pensioner poverty, income security in old age, economic growth, the National Insurance system, tax reliefs, and women. Agulnik's "The proposed State Second Pension and National Insurance" considers the redistributive effects of the SSP, which, compared to SERPS, will benefit low earners. In "A public-private partnership in pensions: getting the balance right", Barr questions the macroeconomic advantages of increasing the amount of funded pension provision via Stakeholder Pensions. Falkingham and Katherine Rake in "Delivering a secure retirement for women?" argue that the proposals have failed to fully incorporate the needs of women. Agulnik, in "Pension tax relief and the Green Paper", considers the proposed rules for Stakeholder Pensions, and contends that the retention of the existing rules for personal and occupational schemes is anomalous.
