The Pensions Policy Institute has put a date on the death of final salary pensions in the private sector. Apparently by 2020 they will have all-but disappeared, as businesses close schemes to new entrants, and freeze schemes for current staff.
It could be a disaster, precipitating a massive crisis for retirees. However, one expert says there's a small chance of salvation.
