Pensioners and the minimum income guarantee : observations from recent research - 2001

This article summarizes some of the data collected via the 1999/2000 Northern Ireland Life and Time Survey. The obsence of any counterpart in Northern Ireland to the British Family Resources Survey has resulted in a dearth of basic information on the financial and allied circumstances of pensioners in this part of the United Kingdom. The author review the data obtained on levels and sources of income, health and receipt of core disability benefits and the extent of non-take-up of the Minimum Income Guarantee. The authors locate the data within the broader debate about the new directions of pension policy in the UK
