A new contract for retirement: Modelling policy options to 2050

Article

>Acts as a companion volume to A New Contract for Retirement, and contains three new and important contributions to the debates about pensions and long-term care. Can be bought together with A New Contract for Retirement and Age Old Attitudes

John Hawksworth's paper examines the costs and benefits of different public pensions regimes, and provides a macro treatment of UK pensions policies over the next fifty years.

The Authors have analysed the same set of pensions options in their paper, but from the perspective of the individuals who would be affected.

The report also models the public and private macro costs of long-term care under a range of different scenarios and policy options. Collectively, these papers represent a coherent and important contribution to UK retirement policy at the beginning of the new century.
