The Savings Ladder: how to get Britain investing
We have launched a campaign to help tackle the UK's looming retirement challenge.
What lessons can be learned from the UK’s devotion to the ‘property ladder’ that can be applied to another critical issue that society faces – the savings gap?
With government spending under pressure and retirement provision resting increasingly on the individual, Aberdeen has started a campaign to highlight the growing need for the nation to embrace a ‘savings ladder’ culture where saving, investing and pensions become a much bigger part of how people view their finances throughout their lives.
In our manifesto, we set out our policy recommendations while in our new Savings Ladder Index we have begun tracking progress on closing Britain’s saving and investing gap.
We have also conducted research into the state of financial literacy in the UK and written an open letter to the Government addressing the need to shake-up financial education to address this issue.
