PENSION PILLAR
One of three pension formats as outlined by the World Bank in 1998 and which has since been adopted by many economically reforming countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The goal of the three-pillar system is to separate the major objectives of pension (retirement) plans into the following pillars:
Pillar 1 – A standardized, state-run pension system, which offers basic coverage and is primarily focused on reducing poverty.
Pillar 2 – A funded system that recipients and employers pay into; this includes pension funds and defined-contribution accounts/plans.
Pillar 3 – Voluntary private funded accounts, including individual savings plans, insurance, etc.
