US. Gig economy helps power economy, but its workers can’t retire

America is fast approaching a historic milestone. By 2027, freelancers will make up more than 50 percent of the workforce, marking a fundamental shift in the U.S. labor market.

UK. Pension disaster as nearly half of pots overdrawn in ‘real risk’ to retirement savings

Fresh analysis of Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) figures shows pension withdrawals at unsustainable rates have reached record levels. In 2024/25, 45 per cent of all retirement savings pots were accessed at eight per cent or higher.

The canton’s government has rejected a motion tabled by members of the Social Democratic Party (SP) to amend the law governing the fund’s investments, which would have introduced sustainability criteria and excluded fossil fuel holdings.
