DWP: Employer attitudes to risk sharing in pension schemes: a qualitative study

The research explored: employer perceptions of the barriers to risk sharing in pension schemes today; their reactions to different types of risk sharing; and the likelihood that employers would make changes to current or future provision if new flexibilities were introduced. Thirty face-to-face interviews were conducted with a range of employers selected to fill quotas set for type of pension provision, size and industry sector. It was important that individuals taking part in the research had sufficient knowledge of the company’s pension policy and were directly involved in decision making about the scheme.
