Abstract
This thesis is a study of state and occupational retirement pensions in Britain from 1945 to 1986. It looks at four main issues. Firstly it presents the data available on the occupational and state pensions systems of the period. Secondly it discusses how policy on retirement pensions evolved from 1945 and. the role of governments, private capital, trade unions, public opinion and the poverty lobby in determining the content of this policy. The thesis also explores the relationship between the state and occupational pensions systems and how each has influenced the development of the other. Finally it discussed factors which seem to have influenced policy in order to help explain why policy on retirement pensions developed as it did. and how the income inequalities of the retirement pensions system have been sustained.
