How inequality stretches into retirement:
Of those able to pay into a defined contribution pension over half do not think they are saving enough; that will be an underestimate as people often underestimate how much they need to put in a pension for a 'comfortable' retirement.
And why don'e they pay more in? because they can't afford to!!!
Its no use lecturing people that they need to save more for their retirement, first you need to ensure they're paid more!!!
