ABSTRACT

The subject of this paper is a Demographic Reserve Fund (DRF).

– calling of the DRF was a right decision facing the demographic forecasts,

– supplying of the DRF with financial means is insufficient in order to make it fulfil assumed goals (or sufficiently filling up shortages of financial means in RF).

Methodology is mix of cohort-component model for population projections and socio-economical models for basic scenarios of the environs of pension system.

Key words: population aging, social security system, Demographic Reserve Fund.
