Automatic enrolment was designed to help more people save for their retirement, including groups who historically have been less likely to save, such as women and lower earners. The policy is working, with over 7.3 million people enrolled by the end of January 2017. Around two thirds of women are in the eligible target population for automatic enrolment and 10 million workers are estimated to be newly saving or saving more as a result of Automatic Enrolment by 2018, of which 3.6 million are women.<\/p>
<\/p>
Since the introduction of automatic enrolment, the private sector has seen the largest increases in participation in workplace pensions and by 2014 there was no gender gap in participation. As of 2015 female participation in the private sector had actually risen to a slightly higher level of 70 per cent compared to 69 per cent for male eligible employees. This represents a 30 percentage point increase for women from 2012 (whilst participation for men has increased by 26 percentage points) continuing the upward trend since the introduction of automatic enrolment.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, the Government\u2019s decision to freeze the value of the automatic enrolment earnings trigger at £10,000 in 2017/18 is estimated to result in around 70,000 extra people being brought into automatic enrolment of whom around 50,000 (75 per cent) are women.<\/p>
<\/p>
As part of my Department\u2019s review of automatic enrolment, which we have embarked on this year, we will look at how we can build on its success so that it continues to meet the needs of individual savers, including women. In addition to considering those not currently benefitting from the policy, this review will look at strengthening the evidence base concerning future contributions, and how we can maximise engagement with work place pension saving.<\/p>
The government believes that employee share ownership in its various forms can help drive productivity and increase employee engagement. To support employee share ownership the government provides four tax-advantaged employee share schemes, which provide certain tax benefits for individuals acquiring shares in the company they work for.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4068", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Watford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Richard Harrington"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-02-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-02-24T13:22:29.79Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-02-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Pensions: Females"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps are being taken to ensure that more women participate in pension schemes and company share ownerships.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1409", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Gregory Campbell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Londonderry"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Gregory Campbell"} ], "uin" : "64798"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/692447", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/692447/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Automatic enrolment works by requiring employers to enrol all eligible jobholders in to a workplace pension and make a contribution into it. Eligible jobholders do not need to apply to be automatically enrolled. However, those who are not eligible can ask to join their employer\u2019s pension, known as \u2018opting-in\u2019, if they choose. Eligible employees are those who are aged 22 to State Pension age; earn £10,000 per year or more; are not already in a qualifying pension scheme and; who ordinarily work in the UK.<\/p>
<\/p>
Automatic enrolment has been a great success with 7.3 million people enrolled at the end of January 2017. Automatic enrolment is being rolled-out gradually from October 2012 \u2013 February 2018 starting with the largest employers down to the smallest. We do not have the data that would show the ratio of men to women within the cohort of people who have already been automatically enrolled. However, there is data available that shows the increases in participation since automatic enrolment began in 2012.<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2012, overall participation of female eligible employees was 58 per cent, compared to male participation at 52 per cent. In 2015, the participation of female eligible employees was 78 per cent with overall male participation at 73 per cent.<\/p>

As with other NATO allies, from time to time we update our approach to ensure we are categorising defence spending fully in accordance with NATO guidelines, seeking to capture all spending contributing to the defence of the United Kingdom.<\/p>
<\/p>
Military pensions were included in the then NATO Government's return of defence spending for the first time in 2005-06.<\/p>
<\/p>
War pensions, parts of the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund relating to peacekeeping, and pension payments to retired Ministry of Defence civil servants were first included in 2015-16.<\/p>
<\/p>
As announced in the July 2015 Budget, elements of the Single Intelligence Account that relate to defence were first included in 2016-17.<\/p>
<\/p>
NATO sets the criteria for defence spending, and like all NATO members we abide by those criteria.<\/p>
<\/p>
NATO has confirmed that the UK continues to spend over 2 per cent of GDP on defence.<\/p>
