Summary

This report explores the positive short- and long-term impacts that saving can have for people’s wellbeing, and considers what research tells us about how we could encourage more people to start saving. It is based on: a review of evidence on the relationship between saving and wellbeing; and on new analysis of large-scale survey data from a study called Understanding Society.
