</p><p>Figure 1 shows that overall for the UK, 49.8 per cent of employees were members
of workplace pension schemes in 2013. This is an increase from 46.5 per cent in 2012
and is the biggest rise in workplace pension coverage since figures began in 1997.</p><p>
</p><p>Figure 9 shows a breakdown of the proportion of employees with workplace pensions
by sector and region. This shows a weak relationship between the region where the
employer is located and the proportion of employees with a workplace pension. Overall
membership was highest in Scotland (55.3 per cent) and lowest in East Midlands (46.7
per cent). In Wales it was 53.2 per cent.</p>
