16 People will receive more income from state pensions as a result of the pension reforms Weekly state pension income for a high earning woman, a median earning man and a low earning woman with breaks for caring, reaching SPA in 2033 (2009 earnings terms) Source: Individual Model

17 In future more people are likely to have DC pension savings Private pension reforms and changes in the private pensions market More people receiving retirement income from private pensions More savers in DC pensions, from 5 to 15 million by 2020 A decline in private sector DB, 2.5 million savers to 1.5 million in 2050

18 The number of savers in private sector DC pensions could increase substantially after the reforms Number of people saving in private sector DB and DC pension schemes by 10 year intervals Millions Source: Aggregate Model

19 More people are likely to use the retirement products market in future An increase in DC savers could lead to more people using the annuity and retirement products market The financial profiles of people using the annuity and retirement products market may change

20 Average pension pot sizes may vary over time, as the results of auto-enrolment take effect Pension pot sizes for a median earning man, auto-enrolled in 2012 and retiring at age 65 in 2022, 2032 and 2047

26 Conclusions Future pensioners will all receive more income from state pensions Many pensioners may be unable to achieve desired levels of income from pensions alone Future pensioners may use a variety of income sources and assets, including housing wealth and working longer, to support retirement Proposals on funding care will impact on how future pensioners use income and assets to support themselves
