Published just before the long awaited Pensions Commission report on the future of pensions, the SMF working group’s report, What if? A UK model for compulsory pensions, explores how pension compulsion might have been best implemented in order to meet the challenges facing the UK pension system.
The SMF working group proposed a three-tier pension system consisting of: a citizen’s pension, providing a flat-rate, non-contributory state pension based o¬n residency; a new second tier, based on compulsory saving into a private fund to ensure comfort in retirement; and a third tier, providing a revitalised voluntary system that allows for flexibility in private savings.
