What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Steve Webb, a partner at Lane Clark & Peacock, co-authored a report proposing a new "social insurance" model for England. This model suggests introducing an automatic enrolment scheme for social care, building on the precedent of workplace pension savings. Under the proposal, taxpayers aged 40 and over, including pensioners, would automatically enroll to pay a social care premium, though they would be free to opt out.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The scheme is designed to allow people in England to pool the risk of facing catastrophic care costs in later life. The proposal would require a fundamental shift in how social care and pension funding are administered. The report notes that the UK of the 2040s bears little relation to the welfare state designed in the 1940s.
