Project overview
This project focuses on inclusive ageing from a financial/pension service perspective. This research aims to improve the inclusivity of individuals from BAME communities in pension policy planning, and address a gap in our understanding of the socio-economic factors affecting pension protection among current and future generations of older individuals from Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities in the UK.
The nature of the project ensures value of the research findings and potential social impact it can generate. Also, We are holding events about financial adequacy in later life with individuals from younger age groups (including school-age children), older people, and local and national stakeholders; including the Department for Work and Pensions, AgeUK Southampton, Southampton City Council, The People’s Pension, Citizens Advice Southampton, the Pensions Policy Institute, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Pensions. This will facilitate policy, practice and public learning on pensions and other forms of saving among the BAME communities.
