Who should take out a stakeholder pension?

Stakeholder pensions could be a good option for people who currently earn more than around £10,000 a year. However, they are available to almost everybody, including people in employment, fixed contract workers, the self-employed and people who are not actually working but can afford to make contributions. It’s also possible to contribute to someone else’s stakeholder pension - for instance someone can make contributions to their non-working partner’s stakeholder scheme on their behalf.
