The economics and health of an aging population en oct 21_finalJacques Fauteux
1) Canada's aging population is growing rapidly, with one in four Canadians expected to be 65 or older by 2031 and the number of those 80 and older doubling by 2040.
2) Seniors are a diverse group, with over half of future seniors projected to be foreign-born or belong to a visible minority.
3) While life expectancy is increasing, healthy life expectancy has remained stable, meaning Canadians are living more years in poorer health.
We are pleased to share this month's edition of the IBB Wealth Magazine. An interesting and helpful read in the current economic climate, covering topics such as pensions, retirement and investments.
The UK population is aging rapidly, with the number of people over pension age projected to rise significantly in coming decades. This aging population will place greater pressure on public services like healthcare and the state pension system. It may also impact economic growth by reducing the proportion of working age people. However, an older population also presents opportunities for businesses if they adapt to changing spending patterns and demand. Policymakers will need to consider reforms to ensure public services and the welfare system remain financially sustainable in light of these demographic challenges.
The document discusses a proposed UK Equity Bank that would allow homeowners aged 65+ to access equity in their homes to generate extra retirement income. It would work by the homeowner trading a portion of their home equity in exchange for an inflation-linked lifetime income from the bank. Upon the homeowner's death, the bank would recover the costs from the estate. The bank is proposed to address issues like income insecurity, isolation, and inability to pay for support as people age. It aims to better serve those with housing wealth but limited other assets or income. The document outlines how the bank could work, who it would target, potential administration models, and interactions with taxes and benefits.
Many older people have equity tied up in their homes that could be used to provide them with a greater income in later life and improve their standard of living. Traditionally, the ways to unlock the equity in people’s homes have been through downsizing, equity release lifetime loans or home reversion plans. However, not everyone is in a position to downsize, there are pros and cons to each approach, and all have associated costs.
The Equity Bank would provide a new way for people to unlock the equity in their home. It would be a state agency which provides people with a low cost fixed lifetime income in exchange for a fixed share of the equity in their home. The Equity Bank would take a charge on the person’s home and recover the value of the equity from the person’s estate after their death.
The event was chaired by Baroness Sally Greengross, Chief Executive of the ILC-UK. Nick Kirwan, Director of the ILC-UK Care Funding Advice Network, opened the discussion. Professor Les Mayhew of Cass Business School and co-author of the paper 'The UK Equity Bank - Towards income security in old age' then presented the concept, after which Paul Burstow MP responded. There was then time for questions and a general discussion.

Maximising the economic opportunity of ageing - Future of Ageing 2019ILC- UK
In this introductory session at the ILC's fifth Future of Ageing Conference, ILC Director, David Sinclair, set the scene for the conference.
Delegates heard about the new ILC research on the longevity dividend, which sets out the huge economic contribution of older people today and projects potential future economic growth as a result of ageing.
David talked about ILC’s views on how we might realise an even greater longevity dividend for the UK economy, by unlocking the full potential of older adults as consumers and employees.

We held a webinar with the Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) for an in-depth look at the factors affecting working lifetimes, the impact of demographic changes and the implications for future policy.
Key questions we looked at were:
What changes are we seeing in our demographics?
How might working lives change?
Do longer lives equate to healthier lives?
Exploring this with us were:
Chair: Sophia Dimitriadis (Senior Economist, ILC)
Matt Gurden – Actuarial Director for Clients Development and Growth, Government Actuary Department
Steven Baxter – Head of Innovation and Development, Club Vita
Older workers bring a lot of skills and experience and can be great mentors or collaborators. Older people already contribute a lot to economy, society and family so why not employ them and have a mutually rewarding workplace relationship. Employers just need to think outside the box and be a bit flexible.
The document discusses the upcoming pension reforms in the UK and their anticipated impact. It explores why reforms are needed due to an aging population, lack of retirement savings, and other factors. It then analyzes the potential challenges to the success of the reforms, such as younger generations prioritizing other expenses, rising personal debt levels, and affordability issues. While the reforms aim to encourage more retirement savings, changing perceptions and building trust in pensions will be important for their long-term effectiveness.
Throughout 2014, ILC-UK, supported by specialist insurance company, Partnership Assurance Group plc, is undertaking a series of events to explore the relationship between our changing demography and public policy.
The fourth event in this 'Population Patterns Seminar Series' considered the findings of our ‘Factpack’ of UK demographic statistics.
We all know that people are living longer but how is that likely to change our society? How will pensions be affected? How will we care for our growing older society when the traditional “working age” population is shrinking?
These types of debates are increasingly being played out in the media and in political circles but in order for such debates to be productive, they have to be well informed.
ILC-UK believes its 2014 ‘Factpack’ will support this process by highlighting the most recent evidence of our rapidly ageing society. Not only does it provide statistics on a range of critical topics from life expectancy to housing supply; and pensions to long-term care, it also includes a special focus on the current and potential future state of pensioner poverty.
The event was chaired by Baroness Sally Greengross (ILC-UK) with a welcome from Steve Haberman (Dean of the Cass Business School). We were delighted that Gregg McClymont MP, Shadow Minister (Work and Pensions), spoke at at the launch event. We also heard presentations from Professor Les Mayhew (Professor of Statistics, Cass Business School), Steve Groves (Chief Executive of Partnership), Ben Franklin (Research Fellow at ILC-UK) and a response from Tom Younger of the Department for Work and Pensions.
During the discussion we explored:
How the UK’s demography has changed since the release of the 2013 Factpack and how it might change in the future,
How demographic change is reshaping our society,
The challenge of pensioner poverty,
Regional variations in the experiences of older people,
How policy makers should respond to these findings.

This document summarizes a report from the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) on future trends in housing tenure and the adequacy of retirement income. It finds that younger age cohorts will have lower rates of homeownership than current retirees, ranging from 52% for those aged 25-34 to 65% for 35-44 year olds. This is projected to substantially increase the rate of retirees with after housing costs income below poverty line benchmarks, from 14% currently to potentially 31% under a lower homeownership scenario. The findings indicate housing costs will be a key policy concern for income adequacy in retirement. A mixed policy approach targeting both lifetime asset accumulation and an adequate safety net is recommended.
Demographic change means that more people will live past the point where they require care. As the increase in life expectancy looks set to continue, we need to develop enterprising and innovative ways to help people save and plan for this eventuality and bring new money into the care system. If people are to save for their future, especially people who are on lower incomes or are less wealthy, it is essential that they have opportunities to do so in a way that is simple, attractive, engaging, and safe, and which provides them with more choice about the care and support they would like. Equally, they must not be penalised for having done so through means tested support. This is what Personal Care Savings Bonds are intended to be all about.
Data Knows Best: What Retirement Research Says About Your Client's Retirement...milfamln
This document summarizes a presentation on research related to retirement planning challenges in the United States. It finds that about half of American households are at risk of not having enough savings for a comfortable retirement. This is due to factors such as longer lifespans, rising healthcare costs, shifts from pensions to 401(k) plans, and inadequate retirement account balances. The data shows that retirement income is being eroded for many as pensions decline, Social Security replaces a smaller share of income, and people make mistakes in managing their 401(k) plans. Improving retirement outcomes will require addressing challenges across the public and private systems that support Americans in retirement.
The document discusses options for reforming social care funding in the UK. It notes that the elderly population is growing while funding for social care has decreased in recent years. It considers the option of social insurance funded by general taxation but notes this could increase costs significantly. It also discusses how wealth has become more concentrated among older generations but wealth taxes have remained flat. The Intergenerational Commission proposed a combination of additional public funding from a progressive property tax and bringing housing assets into the means test for social care with protections for those with high care costs.
Creating a Fairer Scotland facilitation pack summary analysisfairerscotland
This document provides background information on social and economic inequalities in Scotland. It defines key concepts related to social justice, equality, and human rights. It then outlines challenges around inequality in areas like income, wealth, poverty, health, and employment. Specifically, it notes that income and wealth are highly unequally distributed in Scotland. While poverty has declined slightly, more people now experience deep poverty and in-work poverty is a significant issue. Health inequalities also persist between deprived and affluent areas of the country. The document aims to support discussions on how to tackle inequalities and create a fairer Scotland.
Challenges for the UK Pension System - the case for a Pensions ReviewHenry Tapper
1) The UK pension system faces many challenges including low levels of private pension saving, increasing numbers living in expensive private rentals in retirement, and difficulties posed by higher state pension ages.
2) Public finances will also come under significant pressure in coming decades as spending on state pensions and benefits for pensioners is projected to rise substantially due to demographic changes.
3) The review will examine these challenges and propose policy recommendations to help ensure adequate and appropriate retirement saving and support over the coming decades.
The Pensions Advisory Service - saving for retirementcoussey
This document provides information about saving for retirement and the Pensions Advisory Service. It discusses the state pension and why it may not be enough to rely on alone given increasing lifespans. It encourages private saving through workplace pensions or personal pensions to help ensure adequate retirement income. The Pensions Advisory Service can provide free advice and help to the public on pension matters.
This document summarizes a white paper from the Actuaries Institute on retirement incomes in Australia. Key findings include:
1. The superannuation system is generally doing what it was designed to do but will not deliver a comfortable retirement for all.
2. The least wealthy sections will continue to rely entirely on the Age Pension for a modest lifestyle. Younger cohorts will be marginally better off.
3. The average taxpayer subsidy via the Age Pension will reduce for future retirees due to the Superannuation Guarantee. This will partly offset rising costs of the Age Pension.
The document discusses several topics related to pensions and retirement planning. It introduces articles on the new state pension age of 68, how this will affect retirement plans. It also mentions an article on managing pension savings efficiently from a single pot. Another article discusses investing for income and how behavioral traits influence decision making. The document provides summaries of additional articles on pension freedoms, shopping around for better pension deals, and long-term investing to fund retirement.
Fifty-three per cent of Australian households are expected to have enough for a comfortable retirement from their combined superannuation savings, personal assets and the Age Pension, according to the latest CommBank Retire Ready Index
Financial planning involves analyzing a client's current financial situation, setting goals and objectives, identifying any issues, preparing a financial plan to meet goals, implementing the plan, and reviewing it over time. The key steps in the financial planning process are gathering data, setting goals and objectives, identifying financial issues, preparing the plan, implementing it, and reviewing it. Financial planning aims to help clients smooth consumption over their lifetime in line with the life cycle hypothesis. Proper retirement planning is important given demographic trends toward an aging population.
This document discusses how longevity, income inequality, and tax policy impact wealth inequality in the United States. It presents an overlapping generations model to quantify how rising life expectancy contributes to wealth inequality compared to changes in income inequality. The model considers multiple sources of uncertainty and redistribution mechanisms like progressive taxation and social security. Scenarios show that increased longevity is a major driver of rising wealth inequality, while changes in income inequality and tax policy have reduced inequality over time. The research is still exploring policy options to address inequality caused by demographic changes.
On Tuesday 21 July 2020, Barra Roantree presented the findings from the report 'Income adequacy in retirement: Evidence from the Irish longitudinal study on ageing (TILDA)' in a live webinar.
The full report can be read here: https://www.esri.ie/publications/income-adequacy-in-retirement-evidence-from-the-irish-longitudinal-study-on-ageing

The document provides an overview of key retirement planning considerations including longevity and health, spending and inflation, investment returns, and health costs. It notes that Canadians are living longer, retiring earlier, and may need to fund 20 years of retirement from 40 years of work. Key pieces of advice include diversifying investments, planning for higher costs due to inflation, and considering health and long-term care needs as these unknowns can significantly impact retirement. Developing a customized retirement plan is recommended to help navigate future uncertainties.
The document discusses how population aging is contributing to slower economic growth and rising government debt in the United States. It presents a framework for Social Security reform that could increase economic growth by promoting delayed retirement, rewarding work at all ages, increasing savings, and improving the sustainability of Social Security. Key aspects of the framework include raising the retirement age while protecting vulnerable workers, basing benefits on all years of earnings rather than average lifetime earnings, and automatically enrolling workers in supplemental retirement accounts. The reform aims to boost labor supply, savings, and long-term economic growth while restoring solvency to Social Security.
Brightwell ILC Futures workshop David Sinclair presentationILC- UK
As part of our futures focused project with Brightwell we organised a workshop involving thought leaders and experts which was held in April 2024. Introducing the session David Sinclair gave the attached presentation.
For the project we want to:
- explore how technology and innovation will drive the way we live
- look at how we ourselves will change e.g families; digital exclusion
What we then want to do is use this to highlight how services in the future may need to adapt.
e.g. If we are all online in 20 years, will we need to offer telephone-based services. And if we aren’t offering telephone services what will the alternative be?
Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council
Dr Natasha Azzopardi Muscat, Director, Country Health Policies and Systems Division, World Health Organisation EURO
Dr Marta Lomazzi, Executive Manager, World Federation of Public Health Associations
Dr Shyam Bishen, Head, Centre for Health and Healthcare and Member of the Executive Committee, World Economic Forum
Dr Karin Tegmark Wisell, Director General, Public Health Agency of Sweden

Financial planning involves analyzing a client's current financial situation, setting goals and objectives, identifying any issues, preparing a financial plan to meet goals, implementing the plan, and reviewing it over time. The key steps in the financial planning process are gathering data, setting goals and objectives, identifying financial issues, preparing the plan, implementing it, and reviewing it. Financial planning aims to help clients smooth consumption over their lifetime in line with the life cycle hypothesis. Proper retirement planning is important given demographic trends toward an aging population.
This document discusses how longevity, income inequality, and tax policy impact wealth inequality in the United States. It presents an overlapping generations model to quantify how rising life expectancy contributes to wealth inequality compared to changes in income inequality. The model considers multiple sources of uncertainty and redistribution mechanisms like progressive taxation and social security. Scenarios show that increased longevity is a major driver of rising wealth inequality, while changes in income inequality and tax policy have reduced inequality over time. The research is still exploring policy options to address inequality caused by demographic changes.
On Tuesday 21 July 2020, Barra Roantree presented the findings from the report 'Income adequacy in retirement: Evidence from the Irish longitudinal study on ageing (TILDA)' in a live webinar.

The document provides an overview of key retirement planning considerations including longevity and health, spending and inflation, investment returns, and health costs. It notes that Canadians are living longer, retiring earlier, and may need to fund 20 years of retirement from 40 years of work. Key pieces of advice include diversifying investments, planning for higher costs due to inflation, and considering health and long-term care needs as these unknowns can significantly impact retirement. Developing a customized retirement plan is recommended to help navigate future uncertainties.
The document discusses how population aging is contributing to slower economic growth and rising government debt in the United States. It presents a framework for Social Security reform that could increase economic growth by promoting delayed retirement, rewarding work at all ages, increasing savings, and improving the sustainability of Social Security. Key aspects of the framework include raising the retirement age while protecting vulnerable workers, basing benefits on all years of earnings rather than average lifetime earnings, and automatically enrolling workers in supplemental retirement accounts. The reform aims to boost labor supply, savings, and long-term economic growth while restoring solvency to Social Security.

Brightwell ILC Futures workshop David Sinclair presentationILC- UK
As part of our futures focused project with Brightwell we organised a workshop involving thought leaders and experts which was held in April 2024. Introducing the session David Sinclair gave the attached presentation.
For the project we want to:
- explore how technology and innovation will drive the way we live
- look at how we ourselves will change e.g families; digital exclusion
What we then want to do is use this to highlight how services in the future may need to adapt.
e.g. If we are all online in 20 years, will we need to offer telephone-based services. And if we aren’t offering telephone services what will the alternative be?
Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council

The document summarizes a meeting discussing policy priorities for mental health in Belgium and the EU. It provides global context on the burden of mental illness, with anxiety and depression most common. Data is presented on government spending and suicide rates in various countries. The meeting objectives are to compare approaches to mental health diagnoses in different countries and make policy recommendations. Barriers to universal coverage for mental disorders are discussed. The EU's initiatives to address workplace wellbeing, youth mental health, and underserved groups are highlighted. Roundtable discussions center on social and health system factors affecting treatment journeys, and what countries can learn from each other. Conclusions will be presented on addressing acute mental health challenges across the EU.
The document summarizes a conference on healthy aging and longevity in Europe organized by the International Longevity Centre (ILC) Europe Network. It provides an agenda for the conference including sessions on prevention and health interventions to live longer, vaccination rates across Europe, and creating age-friendly cities. The document also shares results from ILC's Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index, which ranks countries on metrics like life expectancy, health spending, and environment. It finds gaps between Western and Eastern European countries and recommends increased investment in prevention to help populations age healthier and live longer.
Redefining lifelong learning webinar presentation slides.pptxILC- UK
We know that we’re living longer, which means many people will also be working for longer. One in seven people over 65 are still employed in the UK, but we’re still seeing challenges in our labour markets.
According to the ILC’s Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index, the UK’s work span is only 31.5 years, ranking the UK 47th out of 121 countries. Skills shortages driven by demographic change are hitting all sectors of the UK’s economy: by 2030, we could see a shortage of 2.6 million workers. On the other hand, if UK employment rates for those aged 50 to 64 matched the rates of those aged 35 to 49, the country’s GDP would increase by more than 5%.
One way to improve work span and employment is through lifelong learning. However, in the UK, as the Learning and Work Institute’s Adult Participation in Learning survey showed, rates of learning continue to fall with age. In 2023, only 36% of people aged 55 to 64, 24% of those aged 65 to 74, and 17% of those aged 75 and over said that they’d taken part in any kind of learning in the past three years.
To better understand the approaches in other countries, we consulted with experts in lifelong learning, both from the UK and globally. ILC's report, in collaboration with Phoenix Insights, Redefining lifelong learning: lessons from across the globe considers the approaches taken in Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. While each country’s approach is different, and shaped by its wider cultural, political and economic context, there are some common threads including: learning culture; the range of learning opportunities on offer; levels of support and investment; and accessibility

Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index - Our impactILC- UK
The document summarizes the work of ILC (International Longevity Centre) on their prevention programme from 2019-2022, which included establishing the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index. Some key activities included:
- Engaging stakeholders worldwide to build consensus on prevention and healthy aging issues
- Influencing international organizations like G20, WHO, and UN to prioritize prevention
- Launching the Prevention Index, which ranks 121 countries on metrics like life expectancy, health spending, and happiness
- Establishing a coalition of over 30 organizations to endorse and support the Index's goals
- Hosting numerous global forums to discuss findings and identify policy solutions
Alongside the G20 Health Ministers’ meeting in Gandhinagar, India, in August, ILC-India and ILC-UK held a joint high-level side event to amplify the importance of healthy ageing and prevention among the G20.
Plugging the gap: Estimating the demand and supply of jobs by sector in 2030ILC- UK
The UK economy could see a shortfall of 2.6 million workers by 2030 – almost twice the workforce of the NHS – as a result of population ageing, the COVID pandemic and Brexit.
These shortfalls will affect the whole economy, with manufacturing, retail, construction, transport, health and social care among the sectors projected to be hardest hit.
To plug these gaps, Government must introduce a comprehensive Workforce Strategy looking at:
How to support people to stay in the workforce for longer, e.g. by supporting healthy workplaces, supporting carers and creating flexible conditions that suit people’s needs.
How to ameliorate childcare costs and reintegrate people into the workforce following timeout for caring or a health need
The role of migration and automation in addressing major workforce gaps

Initially propelled by the enigmatic Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies have evolved into a diverse ecosystem of digital assets with the potential to reshape how we perceive and interact with money.
Resume
On June 11-16, several important international events were organized and they are expected
to contribute to Ukraine's resilience and victory: URC2024, the G7 meeting, and the Global
Peace Summit.
According to the IER, real GDP growth slowed slightly to 3.5% yoy in May compared to 4.2%
yoy in April due to significant damage caused by russian attacks on electricity generation.
Restrictions on electricity supply to industry and the population continue: efficient consumption
and the installation of decentralized power generation capacities are a priority.
The Ukrainian Sea Corridor allows an increase in the exports of ores and metallurgical products.
Foreign aid was the lowest in May. However, already in June Ukraine should receive about
USD 4 bn in loans.
In May, as in the previous three months, consumer inflation was slightly above 3% (3.3% yoy).
In June, the NBU again reduced the discount rate – from 13.5% to 13% per annum.
The hryvnia exchange rate has surpassed UAH 40 per dollar due to the growing demand for
cash currency.

“Amidst Tempered Optimism” Main economic trends in May 2024 based on the results of the New Monthly Enterprises Survey, #NRES
On 12 June 2024 the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) held an online event “Economic Trends from a Business Perspective (May 2024)”.
During the event, the results of the 25-th monthly survey of business executives “Ukrainian Business during the war”, which was conducted in May 2024, were presented.
The field stage of the 25-th wave lasted from May 20 to May 31, 2024. In May, 532 companies were surveyed.
The enterprise managers compared the work results in May 2024 with April, assessed the indicators at the time of the survey (May 2024), and gave forecasts for the next two, three, or six months, depending on the question. In certain issues (where indicated), the work results were compared with the pre-war period (before February 24, 2022).

• A measure of the strength of the relationship between family
background and children’s later economic success.
• Much research and discussion has focused on parents’
investment in children and the impact of this on later earnings
and family income.
• But as total wealth grows earnings are becoming a less
important determinant of economic wellbeing.
• Despite data limitations some facts are emerging on the extent
of intergenerational wealth inequality.

• This is hard to estimate directly so we rely on information on
home ownership.
• We find that home ownership has become increasingly
associated with parental home ownership over the last 20 years.
(Blanden et al, 2023)
• Expressed differently, home ownership has fallen among those
in their 30s and 40s, and it has fallen disproportionately among
those whose parents do not own their own homes.
• We can reasonably assume that the relationship between parent
and child wealth has also increased.

• Intergenerational transmissions of wealth are stronger than
intergenerational transmissions of earned income.
• Even among individuals with the same earnings, wealthier
parents have wealthier children. Those with richer parents have
also been shown to invest in more risky assets.
• But primary drivers are gifts when individuals are in their 20s
and inheritances when individuals are older. Inheritances are
larger and more likely to be received by those who earn more,
meaning that they magnify overall intergenerational persistence.

How does AE reform interact with low-earners?
From a total population (100% of low earners) removing groups that are considered either to not be
impacted by the policy change or whose personal or household financial circumstances make them more
resilient results in a subpopulation of around 10%.
53. • To improve retirement incomes for savers, the next Government should:
Extend automatic enrolment: Introduce the secondary legislation needed to
enact the powers contained within the Pensions (Extension of Automatic
Enrolment) Act 2023 which will allow saving from the first pound of earnings
and from age 18.
Publish roadmap for raising automatic enrolment contributions: Set out a
roadmap for raising contributions gradually over the next decade. Increases
in contributions should be split 50/50 between employers and employees so
that each must pay 6%. This means an increase of only 1% for employees and
3% for employers so that total contributions reach 12% by the mid-2030s.
Employment Bill – Scope of automatic enrolment: Bring forth an Employment
Bill to reclassify gig economy workers so they can start saving into a pension.

79. Death of final salary pensions
Only 7% of private sector employees active members of DB schemes, compared to 82% in
the public sector. (ONS 2020)
£1000 of average employee’s final salary before retirement, can expect £150 annually from
a DC scheme compared with £670 for DB.
Shortfall will need to be funded somehow.
Hard on pensioners. PLSA, shows the rising cost of living and an expectation to offer
financial support to grandchildren pushed up income moderate standard of living in
retirement by £8,000 over the last year.
80. Hard Choices
1). Load more weight on the shoulders of the younger generation. Huge, unfunded burden on the
state. Cost of State pension £100bn+ annually (Statista 2022), more than half of the cost of the
NHS.
Finding more from government pockets to bridge income shortfalls burdens young, increasing
intergenerational inequality.
Pensioner benefit spending 2023-24 - 11.3% total public spending (10.7% in 2022-23)/ 5.1%
GDP. (OBR)
2) Accept people will live longer in poverty
3) Find another way
81. There is another way
Savills estimates:
• UK net housing wealth exceeds £7tn
• Owner-occupiers aged 65+ record £2.587 tn of net housing wealth in homes worth a total of £2.735 trillion.
• Over 50s now hold 78% of all the UK's privately held housing wealth.
• Past 10 years, net housing wealth held by owner-occupiers aged 65+ risen by £1.111 trillion.
UK pension wealth estimated at £6.45 tn – many older people have greater wealth in property than pensions.
Yet when people consider retirement income, they tend to limit considerations to pensions wealth.
82. Barriers
Lack of trust – in products and financial advice more broadly.
Equity release transformed since 1980s: formal regulation, innovation with flexible products, Equity Release Council
standards.
Attitudes - Many elderly see later life products as “last resort” – a sign of failure; guilt denying an inheritance to young.
Changing - 3 in 5 UK homeowners (nearly 19 m) interested in releasing money from their home in later life to meet
needs. Biggest shift among 35-44 age group, 78% interested accessing money from value of future home. (Home
Advantage - polled 5,000 consumers)
Lack of consumer awareness and fractured advice and regulatory silos – few know features and benefits of modern
products.
Approach financial adviser, no guarantee property wealth form part of the conversation. Many advisers work in silos –
either looking at mortgages, equity release, or broader financial planning, but too seldom all areas at once.
Regulatory framework does little to break down silos. Mortgages and equity release subject to different regulatory
framework to ‘wealth’ advice. Little imperative for ‘wealth-based’ financial adviser to consider property wealth in client
discussions.
83. Name one Solution
“Set the path from the top “
Government leads the direction by setting out a new, empowering, narrative for the
role housing wealth can play in later life and addressing legislative barriers.
This requires the Government to develop a ‘blue print’ for the functioning use of
housing wealth in later lending with the regulator, consumer groups and industry.
84. What should be the priorities for the
next government?

Editor's Notes
JA
Life expectancy is expected to rise for both men and women. This will mean that they will be in retirement for longer and therefore increasing the costs associated with the state pension for the government.
Baby boomers: Born between 1944 and 1964, They’re currently between 55-75 years old and have either just retired or are coming up to retirement. Costs for the government will increase when this generation retires. By 2050, it is projected that one in four people in the UK will be aged 65 years and over – an increase from almost one in five in 2018. This leads to potential funding problems of the state pension since those of working age fund the state pension through national insurance contributions.
This leads to issues surrounding intergenerational fairness.
TP
The State Pension age remained the same between 1948 and 2010, at 65 for men and 60 for women.
During this time, several demographic changes were occurring – the proportion of people reaching State Pension age increased, those who did reach SPa lived for longer, and as a result the number of working-age people there are for every person over SPa (known as the old age dependency ratio) reduced.
Longevity started increasing particularly quickly in the 1980s, however governments and pension providers didn’t start making adjustments until the late 1990s and 2000s. As a result, the SPa is rising relatively quickly to make up for lost time.
The Government is aiming to keep SPa at a level which will result in people spending up to a third of adult life (age 20 and above) in receipt of the State Pension.
Women’s SPa has been rising particularly quickly because it was being brought into line with men’s before both are increased above age 65. In November 2018, State Pension Equalisation Day women’s SPa become the same as men’s.
The Pensions Act 2011 subsequently increased the State Pension age to 66 by October 2020
The Pensions Act 2014 further increased the State Pension age to 67 by April 2028.
TP
Over the next few decades, the cost of paying State Pensions is projected to rise from around 5% of GDP to around 7% - around £40 billion a year, assuming that the State Pension age will grow with longevity.
Removing the triple lock and uprating state pensions by earnings could reduce the annual cost of state pensions by around 1% in the long run, but overall costs are still expected to rise as more people reach SPa and those who do, live for longer.
JA
The state pension income is low relative to those of other oecd countries – 30% is the average received in 2015
but the full rate of nSP is 24% of National Average Earnings
While there is no agreed upon level which the state pension should provide in retirement, it is clear that currently the UK is working on the basis that a replacement rate of around a quarter of working life income is sufficient for the state to provide
This means that a median earner may need to generate around another 50% of working life income in order to sustain the living standards in retirement that he had during working life – this requires sustained saving during working life and it is hoped that automatic enrolment will help make it easier for people to fill in the gaps in retirement
KEY POINTS TO MAKE
The annuity market is incredibly busy, as customers seek to capitalise on the relatively high incomes currently on offer.
In times of economic uncertainty, we know that customers often value predictability and stability in relation to their finances and retirement income.

Briefly talk through case study
KEY POINTS TO MAKE
Brief explanation of trends
Cover what might happen to annuity rates going forward
Consumer Duty - The Consumer Duty is the FCA’s latest initiative aimed at addressing the outcomes customers get from financial services firms. This can be traced back to the TCF (Treating Customer’s Fairly) initiative of 2006, which was followed by the Conduct rules of 2016. Despite all of this, the feeling was that there was more to be done, because customers were not getting consistently good outcomes across the financial services industry.
The biggest change is that firms are evolving to focus on the outcomes their customers achieve, rather than focus on the performance of internal processes or just dealing with issues once a customer complains. That may sound simple, but getting the required insights and MI has proven to be challenging across the industry. Then it’s about how that information is used across firms, from the front-line to the board room. The regulator wants to see it being used across all areas and that will be one of their key tests of culture.
It won’t be an overnight change for consumers – change takes time and sometimes technology investment will be needed. But over time the expectation is that outcomes improve across the financial services industry.
FCA Thematic Review of retirement advice – due to report findings later this year. FCA undertaking a thematic review assessing the advice consumers are receiving on meeting their income needs in retirement. This review is a piece of discovery work to explore how financial adviser firms are delivering retirement income advice and assess the quality of outcomes consumers are getting, prompted by the pension freedoms changing the way consumers access their retirement savings.
Solvency II – PRA published CP19/23 at the end of September. The second consultation needed to implement the conclusions of the Solvency II reform. It sets out the PRA’s proposed reforms that will enable broader and quicker investment by insurers in their matching adjustment (MA) portfolios, while improving responsiveness to risk and enhancing firms’ responsibility for risk management. The PRA considers that by adapting the MA rules for the features of insurance business in the UK and the financing demands of the wider economy, the proposals will allow the life insurance sector to play a bigger role in productive investment in the UK economy, while continuing to offer their policyholders the level of security determined by legislation.
