The higher their gross weekly income, the more likely men and women working full time were to belong to either their employer’s pension scheme or to be making personal pension arrangements. For example, in 2000 among those working full time:

• 75% of men and 80% of women with a gross weekly income of more than £600 belonged to an occupational pension scheme compared with 19% of men and 28% of women earning between £100 and £200 per week
• about three out of ten men (31%) and two out of ten women (22%) earning more than £600 belonged to a personal pension scheme compared with fewer than 10% of men and women earning between £100 and £200 per week.
