The Pensions Act 2007 (c 22) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It incorporated the main findings of the all-party Pensions Commission in 2006 as set out in the white paper ''Security in retirement: towards a new pension system''〔 〕 published in May 2006. The key provisions were:〔 〕 #Reduction of the qualifying years for a full basic State Pension from 44 years for men and 39 years for women to 30 years for both. #Linking cost of living increases to earnings rather than prices. #changing the contribution conditions for basic State Pension so that it is easier for everyone to build up some entitlement. #replacing Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP) with a new system of weekly credits for parents and carers #Raising the pension age for women to 65 by 2020. #Raising the pension age for both women and men from 65 to 68 between 2024 and 2046. #Introducing national insurance credits for parents and carers so that they can build up some entitlement to the additional State Pension. #End of the option to contract out of the additional State Pension. Modifications to this were made in the Pensions Act 2008. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pensions Act 2007」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
