This guide gives a detailed description of the current UK pensions system. The guide is intended for people wanting to learn about the UK pensions policy framework.
We will be producing an updated guide for 2019 reflecting policy changes and benefit uprating announcements. The Primer reflects the current position of, and legislated future changes to, the UK pension system.. Please click here for the current version (updated June 2018).
Pensions Facts
We maintain a compendium of key facts and statistics on pensions and retirement provision in the UK. The aim is to collate into a single place a range of different statistics on demographic change, key state pension and private pension indicators. Key tables will be updated as new data becomes available. Pensions Facts can be viewed here.
Pensions Modelling and Development
The PPI has constructed a suite of micro-simulation models to analyse long-term outcomes from the current UK pensions system and possible reforms. Each year the PPI conducts a model update exercise in which the latest data are incorporated and the long-term assumptions are reviewed.
DWP Social and Economic Research Framework
The PPI is on the DWP’s Social and Economic Research Framework under the policy areas of Pensions and Ageing. The PPI welcomes contact with regards to collaborative work in these research areas.
Sponsored research can take different forms, and we are always looking for input from our members to feed into our research agenda. If you would like to discuss our current agenda or potential ideas for research please contact Sarah Luheshi, Deputy Director, sarah@pensionspolicyinstitute.org.uk
