Most workers are unaware of reforms
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.More than half of workers do not know about important reforms being made to pensions next year which will automatically enrol employees into workplace schemes.
Fewer than a third of those aged between 18 and 24 working for private firms and in the voluntary sector were aware of the changes, a survey of 2,000 workers by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) revealed.
Older workers and those in management posts were most aware of the auto-enrolment, which the CIPD said was the biggest reform to pensions for a century.
