A gentle introduction to DB and DC pension schemes

Abstract: Pensions have captured the headlines recently. Large estimated deficits in defined benefit schemes such as Carillion raise questions about the balance of claims of shareholders and future pensioners, and can even contribute to closure of a company, as with BHS.

This lecture will briefly explain and contrast defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) schemes. I will then discuss a thorough Canadian review of what groups, such as workers, taxpayers and wider society might gain or lose from different approaches to provision for retirement. If time permits, there will be graphs.
