This week our research project on pensions spent another day with c. 250 Year 11 students at a local school, discussing pensions and saving, and playing a board game about making financial decisions across the life course. A rewarding day, made possible by dedicated MA and PhD student helpers and colleagues from the ESRC Centre for Population Change and Connecting Generations , and teachers and school leaders who understand the importance of financial resilience as a lifelong skill. Hats off to them! 👏 💥Thank you ESRC: Economic and Social Research Council for funding our project.

The reasons are myriad, “but key is a change in the #labourmarket”, says Professor Jane Falkingham, Director of the #ESRC Centre for #Population Change and Connecting #Generations.
The #dual-earner model means women are often delaying having #children from their 20s to their 30s, which can lead to fewer #births or not having as many children as they would've liked. The key is more #genderparity in #relationships.
