Details

The Department for Work and Pensions commissioned Planning and Preparing for Later Life (PPLL) to provide evidence on how far individuals are able to make well informed choices about how and when to retire and whether they will be in a position to enjoy financial security when they do. PPLL is a new, nationally representative survey of 40 to 75 year olds in Great Britain. The survey had 4 main objectives:

• to provide evidence to support policy development around income adequacy in retirement
• to gather evidence to inform the ‘50 Plus: Choices’ strategy (previously Fuller Working Lives) specifically its focus on measures that allow and encourage people to stay in work for longer
• to understand the impact of the new pensions’ flexibilities on attitudes and behaviours around pension saving and planning for later life
• to develop the evidence base around the self-employed and planning for later life
