Sinopse
Características

The UK has had a universal State Pension since the Old-Age Pension of 1909. This has evolved over more than a century, but for much of this time, the affordability of the UK State Pension has been an issue. And for some years, the most visible answer to this issue has been to raise the State Pension Age. However, increasing the State Pension Age has a much greater impact on the least well-off — and they are the ones who are most dependent on this benefit. Just as importantly, increasing the State Pension Age is unlikely to control the cost of State Pensions in the long run.Perhaps instead of using the State Pension Age alone, it is worth visiting the concept of means-testing. This would not be unprecedented. In fact, when the Old Age Pension was introduced in 1909, it was brought in as a means-tested benefit.Using means-testing, whether alone or in conjunction with increases to the State Pension Age, could help to control the cost of the UK State Pension. What’s more, it could do so equitably, ensuring that those who most need it are more likely to receive it.This book analyses history and evolution of the UK State Pension. It also looks at the long-term affordability of the UK State Pension, and shows how an element of means testing could be used to create a fairer pension system.
