This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
How does financial insecurity impact later life and retirement? Who is financially insecure over the life-course? Who should prioritise short-term income over long-term pension saving?
This encompasses priorities around:
- reducing the percentage of pensioners in absolute low income after housing costs
- Increasing the total number of people automatically enrolled in workplace pensions and building retirement savings
- continuing to explore how to make it easier for self-employed people to save for retirement
