Latest figures show that more than 9.9 million people have been automatically enrolled; with participation amongst eligible women in the private sector increasing, from 40 per cent in 2012 to 80 per cent in 2017, to equal the rate for men. By 2019/20 an extra £20 billion a year is estimated to go into workplace pensions as a result of these reforms.</p><p> </p><p>Automatic enrolment requires the sponsoring employer to put in place a qualifying workplace pension scheme for their affected workers.
