The similarity between Poland and Canada, in such aspects as are important from the point of view of the pension system (including the percentage of people at post-productive age) encourages to undertake an analysis of the possibility of transposing into Poland the solutions successfully applied in the other country. On the other hand, there are sinificant differences between the two economies, which do not allow for a simple transfer of the Canadian solutions to Poland. The paper presents the Canadian pension system, with a particular emphasis on its public part.
