Understanding the ways in which people save for their retirement is
an urgent issue. So much has changed in the last 10 to 15 years,
especially in the area of the provision of pensions and retirement
income. Around the world, greater and greater responsibility is
being allocated to individuals while governments discount their
contributions to social security and employers retreat from the
provision of supplementary retirement income.
This book explores the behavioral revolution and its implications
for understanding financial decision-making and saving for the
future. Recognizing the profound implications of this research
program, it goes beyond issues of risk aversion, framing, and
decision-making to consider how social identity and the resources
due to people by virtue of their place in society figure in savings
behavior. It gives considerable attention to the context of the
environment in which people make financial decisions, arguing that
this allows a better understanding of the coexistence of
sophistication and naivety apparent in patterns of retirement
saving.
Utilizing databases from the UK, the book provides an empirical
foundation to its theoretical arguments, demonstrating how an
integrated approach to individual financial decision-making is
necessary if we are to address the apparent shortfall in many
people's planning for the future. The book concludes by setting the
agenda for the design, governance, and regulation of pension
savings schemes consistent with delivering cost-effective solutions
to pension adequacy. In these ways, it sets forth a strategy for
rethinking individual behavior as well as the design of retirement
income systems.
