<p /> <p>Over 5.43 million workers have now been automatically enrolled into a workplace
pension by their employer, many for the first time. This has reversed the downwards
trend seen in workplace pension participation rates since 2003.</p><p> </p><p>So far
opt out has been around 10 per cent, which is significantly lower than the original
DWP estimate of around 30 per cent. This has seen the programme opt out assumption
being adjusted to 15 per cent overall for the lifetime of the programme.</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>Automatic Enrolment will give around 10 million people the opportunity to save
into a workplace pension - we expect to see 8 to 9 million people newly saving or
saving more, generating £11 billion a year more in workplace pension saving by 2020.</p>
