Radical pension reforms are set to come into force from 2012 that will lead to the majority of employees being enrolled automatically by their employer into a private pension. IFS researchers found that this reform would boost pension coverage and pension saving but that, as individual circumstances change over time, there would likely be a large number of pension accounts containing relatively small amounts of contributions. The new Coalition Government, while in favour of the principle of automatic enrolment, has announced a review of the target group for this policy. This review is to be led by IFS Research Fellow Paul Johnson.
