Addressing inequalities in the pension system

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 10:51:00 +0000 <p>Financial resilience and security are important for people of all backgrounds and communities&comma; particularly as we age. For some older individuals from ethnic minority communities&comma; later life comes with a higher risk of poverty compared with their white British counterparts.</p> <p>&ldquo;We know there are inequalities between ethnic groups in terms of how they benefit from the pension system&comma;&rdquo; said Professor Athina Vlachantoni from the <a href='/research/groups/centre-for-research-on-ageing'>Centre for Research on Ageing</a>.</p> <p><a href='/people/5x5m87/professor-athina-vlachantoni'>Professor Athina Vlachantoni</a>&rsquo;s latest research project is hearing directly from midlife and older people from a broad range of communities in ÍøÂç²ÊƱAPPÏÂÔØ_°Ä¿Í²ÊƱÍø-¹Ù·½ÓÎÏ·,&comma; to better understand the factors behind pension inequality.</p> <p>Project partners include the Department of Work and Pension (DWP)&comma; Age UK ÍøÂç²ÊƱAPPÏÂÔØ_°Ä¿Í²ÊƱÍø-¹Ù·½ÓÎÏ·,&comma; ÍøÂç²ÊƱAPPÏÂÔØ_°Ä¿Í²ÊƱÍø-¹Ù·½ÓÎÏ·, City Council&comma; The People&rsquo;s Pension&comma; Citizen&rsquo;s Advice ÍøÂç²ÊƱAPPÏÂÔØ_°Ä¿Í²ÊƱÍø-¹Ù·½ÓÎÏ·,&comma; and the Pensions Policy Institute.</p> <p>&ldquo;We wanted to give policymakers a real flavour of how people plan for later life&comma;&rdquo; said Professor Athina Vlachantoni. &ldquo;Working with these stakeholders has ensured that our research directly addresses questions which policymakers and others are interested in.&rdquo;</p> <p>Read <a href='/research/highlights/helping-policymakers-understand-how-people-from-different-communities-prepare'>Helping policymakers understand how people from different communities prepare financially for later life</a> to discover more about this research.</p> Research shows that there are complex reasons for pension inequality. There can be no ‘one size fits all pension policy’.https://leaf.soton.ac.uk/static/uploads/people-sitting-on-a-bench.jpghttps://leaf.soton.ac.uk/static/uploads/people-sitting-on-a-bench.jpgpeople sitting on a benchageing/news/ageing/news/2024/03/addressing-inequalities-in-the-pension-system.page/ageing/news/2024/03/addressing-inequalities-in-the-pension-system.page
