Decisions about how to achieve positive later life outcomes are becoming increasingly challenging. Increasing numbers are reaching retirement heavily dependent on DC savings, with little or no DB entitlement. Since the introduction of pension freedoms, they have greater flexibility in how they will access and use these savings. But they are also likely to live longer than previous generations of retirees have before them. With low levels of engagement and understanding of pensions and later life planning, this is a challenge that people will need to overcome if they are to achieve the best possible later life outcomes.

Following on from Living through later life, the second report in the series, Supporting later life, explores the complexity of financial and practical decisions older people may face, the current frameworks in place for supporting these decisions, and ways in which later life outcomes could potentially be improved.

The event will be Chaired by Michelle Cracknell, PPI Governor.

This report will focus on the ways in which existing DB pension schemes will adapt to the changing landscape over the next ten years as many start to wind down. It will look at derisking strategies and current and future trends in asset allocation.

Demographic, economic, industry and policy changes are reshaping working life and the way in which people will retire both today, and in the future. This report considers what retirement might look like for Generation X (born between 1966 and 1980).  Generation X are a particularly important group that will reach retirement over the next 12-25 years and may need to act now in order to address the possible risks of not achieving a suitable income in later life. On average, they are likely to retire later with less secure defined benefit (DB) pension income and lower State Pension income than their preceding cohort, Baby Boomers, and a shorter history of defined contribution (DC) savings than their succeeding generation, Millennials. 

The report considers what retirement might look like for all three generations, the risks they might face and how policy changes, industry and employer interventions and individual behavioural changes could help to reduce the risks that generation X face at and during retirement.
