AI brief

The UK basic state pension is low compared with other wealthy countries relative to average earnings. After tax, retirement benefits are 54.2% of average UK earnings, below the wealthy-country average of 63.2%. Including occupational and personal pensions narrows the gap, but those relying solely on the state pension are worse off than in many other countries.
