In the fifth episode of Speaking of Research, a podcast from the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership, we talk to Yifan Ge, a doctoral researcher from the University of Southampton, about the far-reaching effects of the UK's state pension age increase on women born in the 1950s.
Yifan’s research, funded by Administrative Data Research UK, uses advanced quantitative methods and administrative data to uncover how these policy changes have disproportionately affected certain groups. Their work identifies the most disadvantaged among them, with the goal of informing more targeted compensation strategies and improving public communication for future pension reforms.
