Part One - From Payslip to Pension: Life Course Impacts on Retirement Saving Among Low Earners
Persistent Low Earning
Published on Wednesday 23 July 2025, The Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) launched the first report in this series which explores what pension incomes, and retirement needs, different low earner profiles are projected to have under current policy.
This report is the first of five outputs and investigates persistent low earning. Low earning, in this research, means earning less than a full time living wage, and persistent means being a low earner for an extended period of time.
The From Payslip to Pension: Life Course Impacts on Retirement Saving Among Low Earners series has been funded by a grant from The Nuffield Foundation. The project will run until summer 2026 and consist of five individual outputs.
