The Department does not centrally collate the data requested. However, the Department does publish annual workplace pension statistics for eligible employees, which includes data on annual amounts saved.<\/p>
<\/p>
The latest data available showed the average annual amount saved per eligible saver (those eligible employees saving into a workplace pension) in the private sector, in 2016, was £4,098.<\/p>
<\/p>
Our Automatic Enrolment Review 2017: Maintaining the Momentum<\/em> was published on Monday 18 December, setting a clear direction to build a more robust and inclusive savings culture and specifically in supporting younger generations with the opportunity to save for a more secure retirement. Since 2012, over 9 million people have been automatically enrolled into a workplace pension, although workers are free to opt-out within one month of being put into a workplace pension, and can cease saving at any time. By 2019/20 an estimated extra £20 billion a year will be saved into workplace pensions as a result of automatic enrolment.<\/p> <\/p>"}
