Occupational Pension Schemes Survey 2017
Occupational Pension Schemes Survey 2017

£17.50
The Occupational Pension Schemes Survey (OPSS) covers both private and public sector occupational pension schemes registered in the UK. Results from the OPSS provide a detailed view of the nature of occupational pension provision in the UK.

The survey collects information about scheme membership, benefits and contributions from a sample of occupational trust-based pension schemes (consisting of two or more members). It also includes those that are winding up.

OPSS does not cover state pensions or personal pensions, the latter being based on individuals entering into a contract with a pension provider.
