The UK government has relaunched the Pensions Commission to review how the pension system is working and whether it is fit for the future. This move comes after growing concern that some people are not saving enough to retire comfortably, particularly those on lower incomes, those working in flexible or self-employed roles, and people who have moved jobs often.
The aim of the Commission is to explore how pensions can be made more fair, more sustainable, and more effective for everyone. This includes looking at how much people are saving, whether current contributions will be enough, and what reforms may be needed to support better retirement outcomes.
Although the Commission’s work will take time, its return sends a clear message: retirement planning is becoming more important than ever. As the cost of living rises and the State Pension age continues to shift, personal savings will play a bigger role in shaping people’s financial futures. This makes it even more essential for savers to understand where their pensions are, how much they have saved, and how their funds are performing. For many, this starts with finding old pensions from previous jobs - a task that can easily fall by the wayside during busy working years.
