Automatic enrolment is one of the solutions introduced by some countries in order to increase participation in occupational pension schemes. Aim of the article is to present the autoenrolment functioning in United Kingdom, on which automatic enrolment proposed for Poland is based, and to assess its impact on pension scheme participation. Data on participation rates before and after the introduction of autoenrolment was analysed. It can be shown that automatic enrolment increases participation, in particular among younger workers and those with lower earnings.
