General Scheme of the Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Barra Roantree:
It is an effective policy lever that works by default. If the aim is to encourage more saving among people who do not currently save, auto-enrolment is an effective means of doing so. At the ESRI, we try not to take the position that something is good or bad, but it is an effective means of achieving the stated policy aim.
