This Briefing Note is the first in a series on Defined Benefit (DB) pensions in the private sector. This note explores:

- The complex set of factors behind the decline in DB provision;
- The challenges facing sponsors, trustees, government, regulators and members;
- The options available to sponsors, trustees, government and regulators to help schemes facing challenges.
This Briefing Note was sponsored by Mercer and was supported by a roundtable discussion attended by representatives from Government and industry. We are grateful to Mercer and the roundtable attendees for their support in producing this note.
