Whose Job Is It Anyway? Pension regulation, market oversight, and the forgotten workforce

About this episode

The episode discusses the oversight of pensions by the FCA and TPR, the challenges faced by gig economy workers in retirement saving, and humorously attempts to connect pensions to skeleton racing.

One of the pensions world's more stubborn headaches gets a proper airing - does it actually make sense to have both the FCA and TPR overseeing pensions? From there the conversation turns to a new global report and some uncomfortable questions about whether gig economy workers are being left behind on retirement saving. Oh, and two people who have clearly never considered the finer points of skeleton racing attempt to find a pensions angle from the sport. It goes about as well as you'd expect! Hosted on Acast.
