IFS at 50: The future of income in retirement
October 21, 2019 - October 25, 2019

The British economy is going to face a number of big issues over the next fifty years. Whether it is reforming the tax and benefit system, managing an ageing population, or preparing for the workplace of the future, there are plenty of challenges and opportunities ahead.

In the context of demographic change, among other trends, how will the incomes of pensioners in the future be supported? Carl Emmerson will look at how our pensions and savings system has worked to support retirement incomes, and what recent developments could mean for the future. He will then join Professor Sarah Harper (Founding Director of the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing) and Sir Steve Webb (Royal London, former Pensions Minister and IFS alumnus) for a conversation about how we should think about supporting future generations of pensioners in the decades to come.
