Podrobný výpis o publikaci

The current period is associated with several risks which the public is sensitively aware of and which it responds to, amongst other things, through its preferences in public choice and the political cycle. In this regard, one of the primary obligations of the social sciences is to come up with a comprehensible, promising and realistic vision which corresponds to the life experiences of people and their ability to contribute to its realisation. For a number of reasons, the pension system is one of the important components of any such vision-based idea on how to secure permanent sustainability (from the point of view of demographic development) and stability (from the point of view of possible turbulence in the financial markets and dynamic changes in professional markets). The experience gained from the preparation of the pension system reform, the clashes of opinions which have taken place in this area, the individual prepared steps in the reform and, we hope, also their realisation are of significance not only for the lives of the citizens of the Czech Republic, but, provided they are continuously evaluated with the use of the theory and practical participation in these changes, also for the further development of the theory and the options for its use in other countries.
