Subject: Pensions entitlement for women under the new pensions scheme
At the risk of pulling us away from higher things, I've been puzzling about these figures. When the New Pension scheme starts in April, there's been some concern that it won't offer a full pension to lots of people. According to the Sunday Times last year, “Two-thirds of the people who reach state pension age in 2016-17 will not receive the full pension, according to the DWP.” But a DWP report <https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/491845/impact-of-new-state-pension-longer-term-reserach.pdf> in January suggests that 45% of people will get the full rate. That seems to be based on the figures in the tables below. The delayed retirement of many women has some eccentric effects on the population figures, and there's some jiggery-pokery with the financial years, but I can't get 20,000 women to come to 27% of 90,000 without assuming some pretty radical differences between the quarters. Can anyone make sense of this?
