The Polish Pension System and its Problems

  • Conference paper
Transformation of Social Security: Pensions in Central-Eastern Europe

Part of the book series: Contributions to Economics ((CE))

Abstract

After a long-standing debate and the presentation of diverse pension reform proposals, a new pension system is now due in 1999. This will comprise the introduction of a completely new pension formula; the current defined benefit scheme will be replaced by a defined contribution one. The method of system financing will be changed. The obligatory pension pillar will be split in two, with the first pillar remaining pay-as-you-go (PAYG), as before, and the second now fully-funded.1

Article Footnote

A detailed description of the recent pension reform proposal is presented in M. Żukowski’s article in this volume.
