The Scottish Widows Annual Pensions Report has revealed that the
recession has led to many people becoming discouraged about saving
into a pension scheme.
Women over the age of 50 were most at risk of not having
sufficient income in retirement with just 38 per cent saving
enough, which is down from 52 per cent last year.
Overall the number of individuals over the age of 30 saving
enough for retirement has fallen from 54 per cent last year to just
48 per cent this year.
