Potencjał instytucjonalnych form dodatkowego oszczędzania w zakresie zwiększenia dochodów emerytów w Polsce

The article explores the degree of popularisation of the voluntary pension system in Poland and examines the popularity of the existing forms of savings. The aim of the article is also to try to answer the question which of the existing forms of additional saving offer the greatest chance of enhancing the income adequacy of pensions by increasing the low replacement rates that can be expected from the general basic system. The paper begins with a review of selected studies on the development of voluntary forms of additional saving for retirement in Poland. In the next section the author addresses the issue of voluntary retirement savings from an individual perspective in the context of the forecast declining replacement rate. The third section focuses on an analysis of the dissemination of the existing forms of voluntary saving for retirement and their potential to increase the income of pensioniers in Poland. The conducted analysis proved that the degree of popularisation of additional forms of saving for retirement in Poland is still low, although the greatest potential for its increase should be seen in the development of employee capital plans (pracownicze plany kapitałowe, PPK).
