The IFS found younger workers who moved into self-employment were much less likely to keep saving in a private pension than older workers.

The IFS found younger workers who moved into self-employment were much less likely to keep saving in a private pension than older workers.
Spending fell by around 20% in the first few months after losing a job, with only a third of lost earnings made up by higher benefits.

The research found that women already out of work were more likely to have low incomes, poor health or a disability.

Data showed that around 20% of private sector workers, and 80% of the self-employed, were not saving into a private pension.
