ASSESSMENT OF THE ACCUMULATIVE PENSION SYSTEM

Abstract

European integration processes relate to all aspects of the country's life and require progressive changes in the reform of the pension system, primarily organizational, legal, and accounting in order to preserve and improve its effectiveness. The purpose of the article is the analysis of the current system of pension provision (first level - joint), justification and necessity of introduction of accumulative - second level. Regarding the application of the second level, in 2005, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted a decree "Strategy for the development of the pension system" with the determination of their gradual implementation, which was never implemented.It was found that the diversification of pension financing sources is low, the dominant component in the pension system of Ukraine is the solidarity component. The increase in the role of the accumulation principle is due to the influence of demographic and socio-economic factors, and its development is restrained by low incomes of the population and inflationary processes. The differences between the joint and accumulative pension systems, which affect the level of payments to pensioners of Ukraine compared to foreign countries, are considered, the role of the accumulative system in the social protection of the population, the mechanism for its gradual transition, the peculiarities of the operation of the accumulative fund, the use of the investment potential of pension savings, as well as the prospects are recognized implementation in Ukraine. The reasons that inhibit the implementation of the accumulative pension system are indicated and the need to take them into account is indicated, using the experience of successful foreign countries. This will lead to an increase in the income of the Pension Fund, expansion of the possibility of using investments, reduction of the risk of pension savings and will determine the possibilities of its implementation after the end of the war.
