Recommendation
People in generation X and older without access Defined Benefit pension saving will have had limited time to build up pension savings through auto-enrolment and are therefore at risk of not hitting their retirement adequacy targets. We recommend the Government should consult on a plan to address this challenge and report back to us by March 2023. According to the Office for National Statistics, almost a third of working age people do not expect to have any pension provision beyond the State Pension when they retire.
