The Thinking Forward podcast brought to you by Standard Life Standard Life

Two leading experts on pension reform (Susan St John, Honorary Associate Professor, and Claire Dale, Research Fellow, both from the University of Auckland) discuss the merits of allowing pension withdrawals for home ownership, member engagement and financial education – and whether you really need tax incentives to encourage people to save for retirement. 

Financial wellness has been a hot topic in recent years, but what does it actually mean? And how can employers be sure the support they provide to employees really makes a difference? The key lies in understanding people’s individual needs, says Blake Allison, founder and CEO at financial wellbeing consultancy LifeCents.

Are we facing another lost decade in living standards? And, if so, what might this mean for interest rates, mortgage repayments and the labour market – and when might the UK return to economic growth? Find out in our discussion with Paul Johnson, Director at the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

Sangita Chawla, Chief Marketing Officer at Standard Life, talked with Paul Johnson, Director at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, to discuss the recently launched Pensions Review report, insufficient pension contributions, the State Pension age – and why the UK pension system needs a review.

We speak to two world-leading experts on pension dashboards – from Sweden and Denmark – to understand how pension dashboards in the UK might affect engagement, and the importance of good data, robust controls, inclusivity, adopting a test-and-learn approach and managing expectations.

Sangita Chawla, CMO of Standard Life, speaks to Paul Johnson, CBE, Director at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, about shrinking household incomes, rising taxes, economic inactivity, possible public sector strikes and the challenges faced by younger people.
