Research background 

The purpose of this research was to explore attitudes and behaviours around pensions engagement, pensions saving, and retirement planning across the life course. It also sought to explore how government and industry could better support pension savers throughout their life course or at specific times or life events with appropriate pensions information and/or guidance. Specific life events included, but were not limited to, birthdays, changes to employment, and changes to family arrangements.

• The implementation strategy for the 2017 Automatic Enrolment (AE) Review Measures and future AE policy developments. 
• The next steps following the Decumulation Call for Evidence Response and Consultation focusing on the support and guidance for those approaching retirement accessing their pensions.
