20% of UK private sector employees not saving for retirement, IFS suggests minimum 3% employer contribution and expanding auto-enrollment.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has revealed that over 20% of private sector UK employees aren't saving for retirement, despite efforts for automatic pension enrollment. They propose that all employees should receive a minimum 3% employer contribution, regardless of personal contributions, and recommend expanding auto-enrollment to ages 16-74. This aims to address inadequate retirement savings, as 30-40% of workers face insufficient retirement income.
