This paper analyses the proposals contained in the Government Green Paper,'A New Contract for Welfare: Partnership in Pensions' for low paid workers and the potential of the new rules to guarantee a decent income in old age. It discusses the general principles inherent in the design of the British pension system, analyses the balance of these principles as represented in the Green Paper, and examines how the Government's proposals protect individuals from a means-tested old age. Identifies a number of design faults that could extend means-testing to a larger number of low paid workers. The paper then models lifetime incomes for a range of hypothetical, low-income individuals and their partners under the Green Paper's proposals.
