Launch of OECD 'Pensions at a Glance: 2011'

<p><p>Many countries, including the UK, have increased pension ages in the face of population ageing and longer lives. Some have introduced an automatic link between pensions and life expectancy. Improvements to the incentives to work rather than retire are also a common part of recent pension-reform packages. However, ensuring that there are enough jobs for older workers remains a challenge. The OECD offers three solutions for governments trying to balance adequacy and sustainability in retirement-income provision.</p><p>John Martin, Director of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, and Edward Whitehouse, lead author of the report, will present the key findings of the fourth edition of <i>Pensions at a Glance</i>. The briefing will be Chaired by Paul Johnson, Director of the IFS.</p><p>This event is free of charge and light refreshments will be served. Registration will take place from 9.30am.</p></p>
