      ab: A study was conducted to examine changes in the income of older people from the state and from private pensions from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s in the U.K. Data were drawn from the General Household Survey and concentrate on gender and class inequalities. Despite the fact that state pensions and other benefits were found to remain the principal source of income, particularly for women, the relative contribution of private pensions to total income had risen significantly for men. Receipt of private pensions had grown more prevalent, and gender and class differences in coverage among older people had lessened. However, there was an increase in gender inequality in the amount received and a shift in the relative advantage of various occupational groups. Personal pensions had had little effect on the distribution of income among older people, and the amounts of income they had supplied had been much smaller than occupational pensions.
