The revived Pension Commission
· One min read
The revived Pensions Commission is good, sensible long-term policy work. So very welcome. But something buried in today's press release sounded off... "While the introduction of Automatic Enrolment increased the numbers saving, saving levels have often remained low. Around 1-in-2 workers in the private sector only save around the minimum contribution level (8% or less of earnings)."
Actually it's worse than that for Gen Z entering the workplace. 21% have opted out of contributing (source: Robert Walters 2025). We hope the Commission will ask why. One answer from our research is that current pensions don't reflect Gen Z members' sustainability values.
Why save more if you don't know why? cameron.mettle.capital
