How much do you know about your pension(s)? - A study into pension literacy
13 June 2018
In 2015, the government introduced major pension reforms that made the way individuals are able to access their pensions more flexible. My research aims to give insights in to how much people know about pensions and how likely they are to seek financial advice when making pension choices. The target demographic are individuals aged 40 to 70 that have not yet fully retired. Participants are asked to complete a 'test of pension literacy' developed with the help of industry experts.
