One in six (16.5%) employees will opt out when they are auto enrolled into a workplace pension scheme. More than double (48.4%) are unsure - and a third (35%) will not practice the option to take themselves out of the pension set up.

Older workers are the most likely to opt out after being automatically enrolled into a workplace pension scheme. Inertia is more likely to keep part time workers in the scheme.  And although some workers may be uncertain of whether or not they will opt out, they are likely however to be certain that they want to be able to choose the pension structure.

Over three quarters (78.7%) of those who initially opt out will opt out again three years later when they are automatically re-enrolled.

And although similar proportions of women and men claim they will opt out if automatically enrolled into a workplace pension scheme, a greater number of men will opt out again when they are enrolled back into the scheme three years later.
