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.
What are the future trends for demographics and working/saving behaviour? How do these vary across demographic groups, including ethnicity and other characteristics? What further reforms to state and private pension provision might DWP require to ensure long-term sustainable financial security for older people and pensioners?
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
