Marvin Onumonu66% of adults supported self-employed and gig workers being automatically signed up to a pension through their tax returns, research from PensionBee found
24% said expanding auto-enrolment for invisible workers should be a priority in the next Budget.
Support was highest among 25 to 34 year olds at 78%, and among those earning over £100,000, with 83% in favour.
Just under half of people earning less than £15,000 agreed.
Lisa Picardo, chief business officer UK at PensionBee, said: “Auto-Enrolment has transformed the savings habits of millions of employees, but too many people are still shut out of the system simply because they work for themselves or earn their income in non-traditional ways.
“This research shows the public is firmly behind reform.
“Expanding Auto-Enrolment to include self employed and gig workers would be one of the most powerful steps the government could take to close persistent gaps and set the UK on a credible path to pension adequacy for everyone.
“Invisible workers cannot remain invisible in retirement policy any longer.”
