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.

Famous quotes containing the words pensions and/or act:
“Many old people receive pensions for no other reason, it seems to me, but as a compensation for having lived a long time ago.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“but when lust
By unchaste looks, loose gestures, and foul talk,
But most by lewd and lavish act of sin,
Lets in defilement to the inward parts,
The soul grows clotted by contagion,
Imbodies, and imbrutes, till she quite loose
The divine property of her first being.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
