Recently, the marketing approach of politicians on these issues has also contributed to strengthening the levelling of pensions. More than half of Czechs nevertheless prefer ‘Bismarck’ to ‘Beveridge’ [...].Pozycja Effectiveness of pension systems in post-Soviet countries – evaluation using the CCR model(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2021) Banaś, DawidThe purpose of this publication was to show the most effective pension system among post-Soviet states. The author did this using the CCR model, which belongs to the group of models from the DEA method.

Besides the critical analysis of the literature on the subject, the article uses statistical analysis measures and, in line with the goal, an analysis of effectiveness using the CCR model. In the subsequent parts of the publication, interpretations of effectiveness are presented, the theoretical foundations of the DEA method are quoted, and have been showed the essence of the CCR model. Then, the process of the study was submitted, and the results got were discussed and it based the conclusions on them [...].Pozycja The effects of applying behavioral impulses (“nudges”) to stimulate the development of occupational pension schemes – comparative analysis(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2021) Szczepański, MarekThis paper studies the effect of introducing automatic enrollment into workplace pensions in the following chosen countries: New Zealand, Great Britain, Turkey). The main aim of the research, preliminary results of which have been presented in this paper, was to seek an answer to a fundamental question: whether behavioral stimuli (nudges) proved to be effective in different countries and in different pension schemes, or whether there were significant differences in the strength of their impact. And if such differences were identified – what factors would influence the effectiveness of nudges in pension systems of different countries [...].Pozycja Employee Capital Plans – public policy analysis(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2021) Kolek, AntoniThe purpose of this article is to determine on which axiological foundation the system of Employee Capital Plans (EPC) is based and to answer the questions: – how do the authorities want to achieve universal participation in EPC?– what obligations have been imposed on employers, and what are the expected benefits for enterprises?– will investing in EPC funds support the development of the Polish economy?

The main aim of the implementation of the PPK is to establish an effective, voluntary funded pension scheme. In political discourse, the PPK is mostly presented as a way of ensuring decent pensions and aims to supplement public pensions with income from pensioner’s own savings. In the economic discourse it is perceived as an alternative to existing long-term savings product for retirement purposes which “thanks to the use of innovative solutions derived from behavioral economics—would convince to save voluntarily for retirement and would contribute to a universal system of retirement savings’ accumulation” (Jedynak 2019, p. 35). The PPK is addressed to 11,4 million (according to data from 2018) of potential participants. The PPK will be tied with employment legal relations which are obligatory subjected to the public social security with exclusion of self-employed [...].Pozycja Equality of desert in the pension system from the gender perspective. The case of Poland(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2021) Ratajczak, JoannaThe aim of the article is to operationalize equity with regard to one of the equity dimensions, i.e. the equity of desert within a generation in the pension system. In the next step the intergenerational (in)equity between women and men in the Polish (obligatory) pension system will be identified. The calculations will focus on the results of the descriptive microsimulation model, which bases on the female and male biographies and pension outcomes received from the new pension system.Pozycja Financial schemes for active ageing and elderly well-being improvement(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2021) Mertl, JanThis paper aims to enlighten those issues and suggests prepaid health schemes as a supplementary financing scheme for voluntary healthcare provision, provided that the solid universal health care system is maintained well.

We focus on the pension system’s impact (with its main parameter, which is a pensionable age (statutory retirement age)) on the employers’ behaviour, as well as the employers’ (workplace) impact on employees’ retirement decisions (reflected in effective retirement age). The paper is structured as follows. First, we present a pension system in an intergenerational context. Second, we attempt to discuss a pensionable age as a determinant of an enterprise activity in the role of an employer. The subsequent section tackles the issue of the possible impact of the employer on employees’ retirement decisions. The paper ends with a brief summary of issues discussed.Pozycja Impact of savings within the capital pension system on the flow of funds accounts(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2021) Trębska, JoannaThe structure of the paper is the following.

Depending on the policy in question, the literature proposes models with significantly different structures and features, e.g., types of heterogeneity, choice set, applied utility functions, and model timing. All of them contribute to the mechanism of the model and its fit to the data (Borella et al. 2018). We discuss below different model setups, with particular caution to policies' welfare effect. In this way, we provide a method guideline useful for future research.Pozycja Intra-family financial and non-financial support for pensioners: share survey results in 19 European countries(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2021) Rajevska, OlgaThe present paper is based on the data of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in in Europe. The process of selecting and preparing the data for the analysis is outlined in section 2, as well as major descriptive statistics of the questionnaire respondents. The author hypothesized that the probability to give / receive financial and non-financial support may depend on the individual socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, living single or in a couple, having children, relative income level), as well as reciprocity practices in family and macro-level country specific characteristics (spending on old-age pensions, income inequality, at-risk-of-poverty rates). Section 3 discusses the results of the study, presenting the obtained proportions of intrafamily transfers in different European countries, as well as crude and adjusted regression coefficients.Pozycja Introduction(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2021) Chybalski, Filip; Marcinkiewicz, EdytaPozycja Management approach to social housing to support the welfare of the elderly(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2021) Marcinkiewicz, EdytaThis paper deals with the topic of social housing which supports seniors. Its aim is to identify the key aspects of social housing management with the older population as a target group. The link between effective functioning of the public sector and citizens’ welfare is evident. Therefore, in this paper special emphasis is placed on the managerial approach to social housing as a way of maximizing performance in delivering public services, with a special focus on satisfying the housing needs of the elderly. As the role of the public sector mainly applies to social housing, this area is of particular interest in this paper. However, other public governance interventions which are not directly connected with the delivery of public services are acknowledged (such as setting legal frameworks for the private sector in terms of housing regulations). As summarized by Hwang et al. (2019) previous research on housing from a customer’s perspective can be categorized into four broad areas: housing behavior, housing satisfaction, policy, and design. The authors also indicate fairly unexplored areas, such as adjustments in local policy to meet the growing demand for social housing for seniors, current housing stock assessment, housing modifications, including those involving technology. These aspects also refer to the challenges for institutions and entities which govern or manage housing stock. First, this paper discusses various management aspects at different governance levels (state, municipality, and housing organization) which are applicable to social housing in general, as well as with reference to older people. Second, it provides some statistics concerning the housing and the economic situation of the elderly population in European countries.Pozycja Pensions and elderly poverty in Turkey(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2021) Değer, Çağaçan; Çağan, Semih[...] the aim of this study is to analyse the impact of pensions on elderly material well-being for the Turkish case, with an emphasis on poverty alleviation.
