"Polski system emerytalny" – co to za konstrukcja, gdzie i co poprawiać?

After the introduction of the 1999's pension reform disadvantages of the system are starting to be visable. Important element in this process played a financial crisis that tightened the criteria for assessing the effectiveness of elements of the reformed system. There is growing interest in the problems of operation and possible adjustments of the structure known as „the Polish pension system.” Four main plane of the growing interest can be defined as follows: 1. Course preparation of the reform of 1999. 2. The problem of demographic decline – a reference to the changes of one of the basic pa rameters of what is called, statutory retirement age. 3. The second pillar (capital – mandatory), ie pension funds (public funds, private manage ment, low efficiency) – transparency, improving efficiency. 4. The first pillar (PAYG), ie, Social Security (ZUS) – the need to improve the efficiency of the accounts.
