2008 Pensions Act
Altmann is highly critical of the UK's new pension savings scheme, National Employment Savings Trust or NEST. She fears the advice will be inadequate and many lower-paid workers will be automatically enrolled into a scheme which will provide less than the means-tested benefits they would receive anyway. She doesn't think most people can save enough and says those entering retirement should be encouraged to work part-time so their pensions top up their earnings.
