Opinions on Proposed Changes in Pension System
Governmental proposals regarding OFE (Open Pension Funds) are met rather with critical than positive reactions. Two fifths of interviewees (40%) think that planned changes are going in the wrong direction and only one in eleven (9%) believes the opposite. About a half of all interviewees do not know how to assess the proposed changes (22%) or have not heard about them at all (29%).
According to declarations of the insured in Open Pension Funds (OFE), if participation in OFE was voluntary, half of them (50%) would choose to continue paying their contribution. Over one in three (36%) declares that they would not participate in it. 14% have not decided about it yet.
More information about this topic can be found in CBOS report in Polish: “Opinions about Proposed Changes to OFE (Open Pension Funds)”.
The data comes from the surveys “Current Problems and Events” conducted from 4 to 11 July 2013.
