Introduction
Overview
Occupational pension schemes in the public and private sectors in the United Kingdom has experienced steady divergence in prevalence and value over the years and has become a topic of considerable importance. Differences in the value of pension provision could magnify or reduce the set divergence in current pay values between both sectors and this has been an area of significant interest in recent years because of the well-documented decline in the number of defined-benefit pension schemes available in the private sector and particularly those, which are still open for the new participants. It is quite well known that in the UK, the defined benefit pension scheme i.e. DB is widespread more in public sector compared to the private sector as a lot of existing works have been done on this particular area by pension actuaries and experts.Therefore, this project research focus is to examine and highlight the differences between defined benefits and defined contribution in the pension schemes of UK and will also specifically follow the gradual shift from DB to DC in the pension schemes of UK’s public and private sectors.
