Abstract

The modern state is characterized by a social policy aimed at paying pensions to the disabled. Researchers say that the ideal pension system or its model has not been created, either in theory or in practice (Startseva and Vorobyeva, Aspirant, 3:85–86, 2016), but each country is trying to build such a system that would correspond to its economic development. The article examines various models of pension systems, the comparison of which allows us to identify their features and determine the directions for improving and reforming the national pension system.

An analysis of foreign experience in reforming the country’s pension system shows that the optimal model of pension implies a transition to corporate plans of voluntary and quasi-voluntary pensions, all the while maintaining state subsidies for private pension savings.
