Advantages and Disadvantages of Early Withdrawal of Pension Savings: an Expert Assessment

Introduction. Pension systems are a key element of social protection for the elderly. They are designed to provide senior citizens with stable income not from work. However, pension systems currently being developed in Europe are increasingly exposing the working-age population to the risk of poverty in old age. The European pension paradigm strives for an adequate level of pension payments and builds financial protection against poverty, while the future evolution of wages and prices remains unknown for Europe as a whole.Methods. Scientific research is based on general and special methods of scientific cognition. In the process of forming the concept of the scientific article, modern scientific methods of studying economic and social phenomena were used, including methods of system-structural, functional, factorial and comparative analysis, as well as categorical, logical and structural analysis and synthesis, detailing and generalization, grouping and comparison, identification of cause-and-effect relationships. The authors proceed from an understanding of the scientific hypothesis of reforming the pension system, which ensures long-term investment by the working-age population with income in the future. The empirical base of the study was made up of current data from cross-country comparative studies of Europe in terms of typology of state pension systems.Results. Based on the functional method of cognition, the authors of the scientific article systematize the main types of state pension systems of the European Union, representing the complex content of the indicator value of pension payments. It is noted that in the context of reforming the pension systems of the European Union countries, the reorganization of the functional and ideological components of pension provision, aimed at protecting consumers of pension savings, makes it possible to increase the socio-economic standard of living. Although EU pension systems differ in many respects, they all have one common problem - finding ways to maintain the financial sustainability of the budgetary system while paying pensions in the long term against the backdrop of an aging population and the problem of increasing the ratio of pensioners to the working-age population.

Subject. The study investigates the process of building a pension portfolio based on modeling the structure of pension savings. Objectives. The aim is to develop a science-based approach to the formation of an investment portfolio of pension savings of private investors by modeling the structure of pension savings, taking into account risk-orientation tools and profitability in a changing financial market environment to obtain substantial retirement income through self-accumulation. Methods. The study applies general scientific methods of cognition, economic and statistical methods of information processing, methods of systems, comparative, functional, and factor analysis with the construction of analytical models based on the synthesis of modern scientific methods of cognition of economic processes. The study also employs graphic methods and modeling technique. Results. The paper presents the dependence of investment indicators, considering the term of investment and investment contributions, demonstrating the major trends that the higher the desired pension level, the earlier it is necessary to start forming an investment portfolio. As part of pension savings modeling, the paper also proposes the dependence of investment indicators that include tax benefits, enabling to determine the investment returns due to the tax deduction. Conclusions. The proposed approach will increase the efficiency of placement of pension savings that will lead to the growth of people’s prosperity. Moreover, finding the optimal balance between these criteria would not only preserve, but also increase pension capital.
