We analyse trends in private pension saving among the long-term self-employed workers in the UK using administrative tax data.

The last decade has seen considerable change to the pensions environment. This event included a keynote talk from the Minister for Pensions and Financial Inclusion, a presentation on a programme of IFS research in this area over the last two years, and an expert panel discussion of the implications of the research.

Automatic enrolment has been hugely successful, such that over 90% of eligible private sector workers are now members of workplace pension schemes.

This presentation was given at the launch of two reports into recent pension reforms, on retirement savings expectations and on automatic enrolment.
