Projections for replacement rate achievable from two mandatory pillars of the pension system indicate a significant reduction in retirement income compared to regular professional activity. The designers of the new philosophy of retirement have made an assumption that all three pillars will play equivalent role in providing retirement income. They have also assumed that the participants of the pension system will be kept informed about the height of the expected benefits derived from the first pillar and the amount of funds raised in the second pillar. Forecast of low (unsatisfactory) benefits from a compulsory part of the system is supposed to persuade people to make informed decisions aimed at increasing retirement income.

The aim of the article is to assess the level of pension security and retirement readiness of young adults (under 30) in Poland. The forms of supplementary pension security used by young adults were analysed, and the level of their participation in supplementary pension plans was examined. Following the introduction, the first section presents the architecture of the old-age pension system in Poland. The second section focuses on young people’s participation level in supplementary pension plans and their savings goals. The next section presents the results of the research on the financial goals and adequacy of respondents’ retirement planning based on OECD/INFE survey data. The last part discusses and concludes the results of the study. The survey found that young adults are not taking enough action to reduce the expected retirement gap and are more likely to set financial goals and be more optimistic about their retirement planning than older adults. They are more likely to rely on their own savings and supplementary retirement security, which, however, is not supported by data on the level of participation in supplementary retirement plans. Only one in five young adults intends to continue working past retirement age.

W artykule podjęto zagadnienie gromadzenia przez Polaków dodatkowych środków na okres starości. Głównym celem badawczym jest ocena świadomości polskiego społeczeń-stwa w sferze dobrowolnego oszczędzania na cele emerytalne. Analizy dokonano w opar-ciu o publikacje eksperckie, raporty z badań i komunikaty agencji badawczych. Wykorzy¬stano metodę badania dokumentów, analizy i krytyki piśmiennictwa, analizy i konstrukcji logicznej oraz metodę statystyczną. Rozpoczynając od charakterystyki dostępnych w Polsce form dodatkowych produktów emerytalnych, oceniono następnie poziom świadomości emerytalnej oraz postawy Polaków wobec akumulowania kapitału w długim okresie. Na podstawie wyników można mówić o niskiej świadomości emerytalnej Polaków i istotnej niewiedzy, co do możliwych form zabezpieczenia na okres starości. W ostatniej części wskazano kierunki działań prowadzących do poprawy wiedzy w zakresie dodatkowego oszczędzania

The article focuses on the problem of individual savings ensuring extra means for old age and the assessment of old-age pension awareness among the Poles. The analysis was based on the data from experts' publications, available research reports and the results of opinion polls. The authors employed several methods: literature analysis, logical con- struction and statistical method. First, we characterize supplementary old-age provisions available in Poland. Then we assess the level of pension awareness and the attitude of the Poles towards long-term saving. The results indicate a low level of pension awareness and significant gaps in knowledge about old-age security among the Poles. Finally, we point out necessary actions which should be taken to increase the economic knowledge of the Poles, especially in the area of supplementary old-age saving.
