This research, funded by the NAPF with co-funding from the Economic and Social Research Council, looks at the existing levels of saving in defined contribution (DC) pensions on the eve of auto-enrolment. It provides new analysis on the distribution of DC saving across the population of Great Britain and the scale of the current problem of small pots. It is hoped that this evidence provides a useful and timely contribution to the government's consultation on 'Meeting future workplace pension challenges: improving transfers and dealing with small pots'.
