Participation in Workplace Pension Schemes and the Effect of Provision: Evidence from the United Kingdom*

Fiscal Studies, 2018, vol. 39, issue 1, 189-206

Abstract: This study investigates the effect of public policies enforcing workplace pension plan provision on participation rates. Using British data covering almost two decades (1992–2009), I identify the potential opt‐in rate among private sector workers who have not been offered a workplace pension plan, had they been offered the opportunity to join such a saving scheme. I find that universal provision of workplace pension schemes alone could generate a major impact on pension coverage.
