The likelihood of belonging to an employer’s pension scheme increased with the length of time respondents had worked for their current employer. For example:

• just over a quarter (27%) of men who had worked for their current employer for less than two years belonged to an occupational pension scheme compared with nearly three quarters (73%) of those who had been with their employer for five years or more
• for women the comparable figures were 34% and 76% for those working full time; 14% and 50% for those working part time
