Abstract

It is commonly accepted that a reform of the social security system has to be carried on. The changes implemented in 1998 that created the second pillar of the system are not to be considered as a true reform of the social security system. In the economy of the Hungarian aging society the change to the capital reserve system was very expensive; it was financed from government debts. However, without influencing the demographic processes, the pay as you go system inevitably becomes uncontrollable. We propose to introduce the point-based system into the state pension system. The essence of the system is that the points collected in accordance with adequate regulation – in which theoretically, for example, the performance of the mothers bringing up children can be built in – would define the pension compared to the average wage at the time of the payment, which will be the fee of the to-be retired person. The fees in this system would be shared by the employer and the employee. It would allow us to create a social security system with an influence on demographic processes. This would incite employment and it can be supplemented by – voluntary – supplementary pension fund savings. This proposal, however, does not exempt the government from responsibility to create an economic policy that creates jobs.
