Summary/Abstract: A few years ago, when Poland, Hungary and Slovakia launched three-pillar pension systems in line with the recommendation of the World Bank, central Europe experienced a pension-system revolution. Lagging behind the other countries, the Czech Republic also introduced the second pillar (albeit on a voluntary basis). What we are seeing today in central Europe is a "pension system counter-revolution". All these countries are discontinuing the second pillar and reverting to a pay-as-you-go system. What lessons can be learnt from this?
