Abstract

This article explores the interaction of savings behavior, pension fund participation, and expectations of retirement well being. As expected from previous research, pension benefits are seen as substitutes for savings. Results also indicate that accumulated savings have a significant impact on the expected standard of living but pension plan participation does not.
