This is a BBC article and in the UK, pensions are still very much alive.
We receive a state pension at retirement that is dependent on national insurance contributions over the course of your working life.
You can also contribute to (and have recently probably been automatically opted into) private workplace pensions that your employer will probably match (up to a point).
- thinkmoore 11y agoThis is true in the US, where the state pension is called social security. Except that conservatives have somehow rebranded this "entitlement" (to which you are entitled because you pay contributions over your working life) to something whiny "entitled" workers are unfairly demanding from the government.
