<p>In the Yorkshire and Humber area, the Local Government Pension Scheme is split
into four funds - the North Yorkshire Pension Fund (administered by North Yorkshire
County Council), the West Yorkshire Pension Fund (administered by the City of Bradford
Metropolitan District Council), the East Riding Pension Fund (administered by East
Riding of Yorkshire Council) and the South Yorkshire Pension Fund (administered by
the South Yorkshire Pensions Authority). According to data submitted to the Department
for the 2017/18 scheme year, membership records for each are as follows:</p><p> </p><p><strong>North
Yorkshire Pension fund</strong></p><p>Active members (those in employment actively
contributing to the scheme) – 31,194</p><p>Pensioner members (those members receiving
a pension from the scheme) – 20,476</p><p>Deferred members (those members who are
no longer active but are not yet receiving a pension) – 35,813</p><p>Total membership
– 87,483</p><p> </p><p><strong>West Yorkshire Pension Fund</strong></p><p>Active members
– 101,794</p><p>Pensioner members – 84,833</p><p>Deferred members – 97,583</p><p>Total
membership – 284,210</p><p> </p><p><strong>East Riding Pension Fund</strong></p><p>Active
members – 40,051</p><p>Pensioner members – 29,650</p><p>Deferred members – 43,228</p><p>Total
membership – 112,929</p><p> </p><p><strong>South Yorkshire Pension Fund</strong></p><p>Active
members - 52,412</p><p>Pensioner members - 51,041</p><p>Deferred members - 53, 428</p><p>Total
membership – 156,881</p><p> </p><p>Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (MBC) is
a participating employer in the South Yorkshire Pension Fund and its membership numbers
will be included in the above figures. However, pension fund data submitted to the
Department is not broken down by individual participating employers and we therefore
do not hold membership data for Barnsley MBC itself.</p>
