This policy could help instil the importance of financial planning and saving from an early age. Early learning about pensions and long-term savings could empower children to make informed financial decisions that will benefit them and future generations.

By providing £100 in starting capital, the Government is kickstarting a wealth accumulation process for children that could, along with auto-enrolment, provide them with a substantial retirement fund by the time they reach retirement age.
