Today we have published our first report, The Longer Lives Index: A Crisis of Confidence. The report is the first of its kind to reveal data across five critical dimensions that determine our financial wellbeing later in life – savings, health, work, housing and family support.
Our findings show that if we don’t take action now to address the nation’s unpreparedness for living longer, millions may face serious challenges later in life. We are calling on the government and employers to introduce a series of measures, including investing in mid-life training, increasing pension advice at a younger age and expanding auto-enrolment.
Alongside our report, we are also making our data set publicly available on the Longer Lives Index data hub.
