This report presents findings from the 2019 Employers’ Pension Provision Survey (EPP 2019). EPP 2019 was commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and conducted by Kantar Public and the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR). The 2019 survey was the thirteenth in series that had been carried out approximately every 2 years since the mid-1990s.
A key aim of the report is to describe the extent and nature of pension provision among private sector employers in Great Britain in 2019. This includes the proportion of employers providing pensions, as well as types of schemes offered and employer contribution rates. Comparisons are also made with findings from earlier surveys in the series.
The 2019 survey is the first in the EPP series to be able to consider the ongoing effects of the workplace pension reforms now that the roll out of automatic enrolment is complete. The report covers employers’ responses to the reforms, and their views on automatic enrolment. It presents key measures supporting monitoring of the workplace pension reforms, including opt-out, cessation and re-enrolment.
