Only 9% of employees reject joining Workplace Pensions state DWP

Research by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has found that on average only 9% of employees have opted out of auto-enrolment.

It said over 90% of people who have been placed into a workplace pension by their employer are staying in.

Its findings suggest young people are leading the way in the savings revolution, with more under 30s staying in a pension schemes than other age groups.

This news comes on the back of figures published last month by the Pensions Regulator (TPR) that showed over one million workers have been enrolled into a pension. By 2018 it is expected that between six and nine million people will be saving more into a pension or join a scheme for the first time.
