I think your referring to savers that are left with insufficient funds to cover them in their retirement. A lot of the issues relate to low paid workers not being able to save enough for their retirement. People that solely rely on state pension will possibly find themselves short in retirement

It can also refer to the fact that stockmarket falls in recent years have depleted pension funds and savings. Also, current low annuity rates mean that pension funds can buy less income in retirement.

Its also linked with people in retirement having much lower income from deposit accounts, with interest rates so low.
