MaPS publishes research as part of “Talk Money Week”
On 5 November 2025, MaPS published its latest research as part of Talk Money Week, an annual campaign designed “to encourage people to #StartTheConversation about money and pensions”.
The statistics are taken from MoneyView 2025, MaPS’ nationally representative survey of over 12,000 adults living in the UK. The survey is intended to offer a unique insight into the population’s financial situation and their current feelings towards their finances. Findings include:
- 53% of UK adults aged 18-65 do not understand enough about pensions to make decisions about retirement, and
- 50% of UK adults aged 18-65 do not have a plan for their finances in retirement.
