PENSION FUND MARKETS IN EUROPE. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS APPLYING SYNTHETIC MEASURE OF DEVELOPMENT

Summary/Abstract: The pension systems in the majority of European states have been reformed because of serious changes in the demographic structure of the populations. Therefore funded pillars have been added to the pension systems. This addi-tional (to pay as you go system) pillar, created by pension funds, is manda-tory in some countries. The investments made by the pension funds influ-ence the development of financial markets and affect the situation in na-tional economies. The aim of the paper is comparative analysis of the pen-sion fund markets in selected European states in the years 2000-2013, using the synthetic measure of development.
