Michael Johnson’s CPS Report “The State Pension: No Longer Fit for Purpose” featured in Money Marketing on 3 November 2016

Johnson argues that after 2020, a residency-based Senior Citizens’ Pension should be brought in, providing a larger income, say £200 a week, from age 80.
Johnson proposes complimenting this with a Workplace Isa, funded with a 50% state bonus and subject to a cap, to accommodate auto-enrolment contributions from employers.
