Other countries provide examples to follow

A report released on 12 October 2004 by the UK Pensions Commission, 'Pensions: Challenges and Choices: The first report of the Pensions Commission', describes multiple inadequacies in the analysis of the UK state pension system and a private pension system in decline. The report recommends the UK turn to other countries' models for ideas to improve the UK system.
