Around 8 - 9 in 10 DB schemes that still exist in the UK are closed to new members.

No FTSE 100 has an open to new members scheme I think Shell was the last to close theirs about 4 or 5 years ago.

I'm not aware of any FTSE250 with a DB scheme open to new members, and around 3/4 I think have no DB scheme or have closed future accrual for existing members.

DB schemes still exist, but they are getting as rare as an extrovert in an actuaries conference

It's all relative!

£21k while not the best level of wages, is still more than some other people seem to manage with.

Indeed, it's better than the starting wage for the Armed Forces and most police forces.

BTP officers start on £19k
