Abstract
The pension system in modern society has several functions, the main ones being equal distribution of income of individuals and families throughout their lifetime, encouragement of individual and national savings, and the alleviation of poverty during old age and work inactivity. One of the most important goals of pension insurance is to maintain income of the elderly, and it seems that the programme has been quite successful in this regard. While the elderly were more often likely to belong to the relatively poor, today’s indicators point to quite positive effects, that is, to a significant reduction in the poverty of the elderly.
