The shape of the pension scheme in Poland in the light of the conventional multi-pillar typologies

Abstract

In recent years, a number of modifications that have a significant impact on the shape of the pension system in Poland are introduced and discussed (e.g. OFE [Open Pension Funds] reform, implementation of the PPK [Employee Capital Plans], introduction of civil pensions, etc.). The result of these changes is that the traditional, three-pillar way of presenting the shape of this system does not reflect its essence any more. On the basis of the typologies of multi-pillar pension systems proposed in the literature, the study propose a new concept for presenting the shape of the general pension system in Poland. It consists of four levels of pension security, distinguished by the criterion of the initiating subject. These levels together form the base and the supplementary part of the pension system.

Zgodnie z tą klasyfikacją pracownicze plany kapitałowe należą, obok IKE, IKZE i PPE, do części dodatkowej polskiego systemu emerytalnego.…”
