What we do

We tackle the big questions that matter for retirement security. How can we make sure everyone has enough money to live on when they retire? What are the long-term impacts of policy changes? How do pension reforms affect different groups in society? To find answers, we undertake work that includes: 

1. Research and analysis: We conduct in-depth studies into pension policy, retirement income adequacy and later-life financial security
2. Policy modelling: We analyse the impact of proposed reforms on individuals and on public finances. We shine a light on the trade-offs inherent in policy choices
3. Public debate: We bring together policymakers, industry leaders and stakeholders to tackle complex pension challenges. Our fact-based analysis shapes national conversations through media coverage, parliamentary debates, and expert forums
4. Evidence for governments: We are regularly cited and consulted by government ministers, parliamentary committees, and select committees 

We ask hard questions, challenge assumptions and provide the unbiased analysis that effective policymaking requires. Our analysis reaches the people who need to see it through extensive media coverage, helping to improve public understanding of complex pension issues.

From analysing the long-term effects of pension reforms to examining retirement income adequacy across different demographics, our research directly influences policy decisions.
