Workplace Pension Reforms

Millions of people are not saving enough to have the income they are likely to want in retirement. Life expectancy in the UK is increasing and, at the same time, people are saving less into pensions. We need to address these challenges.

Starting from October 2012 employers will automatically enrol their workers into a workplace pension if they meet certain criteria. This will help to address the issues that prevent people from saving into a pension.
