The author presents a comparative analysis of old-age pension systems in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania using a method of retrospective simulation run on a self-developed model. The model baseline case is a person retiring in December 2014 after 40 years of service with nationwide average salary. Other cases include low and high-earners, funded schemes participants and simulations for modified notional capital valorisation formulae. Three study countries return very dissimilar results, which is caused by differences in their pension systems’ designs. Lack of non-contributory element (basic pension) in Latvia leads to a low degree of progressivity, with inexcusably low pensions to low-earners and excessively generous pensions to high-earners. Participation in funded pillar II schemes has not brought any significant gains to pension plan sharers. Notional capital valorisation rules adopted in different countries that use the NDC-system significantly influence pension amount.

W 1999 r. w Polsce rozpoczęto reformowanie ubezpieczeń społecznych. Zmiany, które wówczas zostały wprowadzone, w bardzo dużym zakresie dotyczyły ubezpieczenia emerytalnego. Do momentu przeprowadzenia reformy ubezpieczenie emerytalne było realizowane w systemie repartycyjnym. Jednak przemiany ustrojowe w Polsce, a także niekorzystne trendy demograficzne spowodowały, że przyjęty dotychczas sposób finansowania świadczeń z tytułu ubezpieczenia emerytalnego przestał sprawnie działać. Konieczne było wprowadzenie zmian, które przede wszystkim pozwoliłyby na utrzymanie odpowiedniej wysokości świadczenia emerytalnego. Artykuł koncentruje się na jednym wybranym aspekcie tego ubezpieczenia - Otwartych Funduszach Emerytalnych, przedstawiając najważniejsze zmiany w latach 2002-2018, ich przyczyny i skutki. Zaprezentowana w artykule analiza została oparta głównie na danych Komisji Nadzoru Finansowego oraz Zakładu Ubezpieczeń Społecznych.

The year 1999 marked the beginning of reforms in social insurance in Poland. Changes which were implemented then regarded mainly retirement insurance. Until the reform was introduced, the retirement insurance had operated under a pay-as-you-go system. However, political changes in Poland, as well as adverse demographic trends, led to ineffective functioning of the existing system of financing liabilities arising from retirement insurance. It was necessary to introduce changes that, above all, would allow for maintaining an appropriate level of retirement pension. The following article concentrates on one selected aspect of this insurance - Open Pension Funds (in Polish: Otwarte Fundusze Emerytalne; OFEs) and presents major changes occurring in 2002-2018, their reasons and effects. The analysis is mainly based on data from the Financial Supervision Authority and the Social Insurance Institution.
