</p><p>The success of Automatic Enrolment has transformed workplace pension saving.
More than 10 million workers have now been automatically enrolled by over 1.5 million
employers. Since the introduction of Automatic Enrolment, overall workplace pension
participation has increased amongst eligible employees from 10.7 million in 2012 to
18.7 million in 2018.</p><p> </p><p>In April 2017, approximately half of eligible
private sector employees making a contribution were contributing at levels of 2% and
over (above the minimum requirements at the time). Total minimum contribution rates
have since increased in April 2018 and April 2019 to 8%. We are continuing to monitor
the impact of those increases closely, including how this impacts on overall contribution
rates and the savings behaviour of employees. The available data can be accessed in
the Automatic Enrolment Evaluation report 2018 and can be found at the following link:</p><p>
