The Savings Ladder: A manifesto to get Britain investing
In an election year, we are launching a new campaign and setting out a series of recommendations 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, abrdn 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.
