Details

This is the latest release of statistics on workplace pension participation and savings trends between 2009 and 2023. This is the eleventh edition in the series which extends the data series to 2023 and provides 2 new additions to the statistical series, offering information on the workplace pension participation of all employees, not just those eligible for Automatic Enrolment (AE), as well as information on the trend in private pension withdrawals.

After years of growth in participation during the roll-out of automatic enrolment, participation rates have stabilised in recent years. Trends in stopping saving levels and contributions have also remained relatively stable.

Full details of the data sources, their key assumptions, limitations and definitions of the statistics are available in the background information and methodology note, published alongside the release.
