Do Britons really need a new workplace savings scheme? (opens original article in a new tab)

The UK government introduces a workplace savings scheme to help workers build emergency funds, but experts question its effectiveness if people lack the disposable income to save.

• Experts note that while the initiative may help build financial habits, many households lack the spare income to save effectively.
• Critics argue that the real issue is not saving habits but insufficient income to cover rising living costs.
