A growing problem. Experts are alarming. What is the average pension?
Economists from the International Monetary Fund in a recently published report are alerting that if the pension system in Poland does not undergo reform by 2050, the situation of pensioners will be even worse. This is not only related to the aging of society, but also an increase in part -time employment and an increase in average life expectancy.
The number of pensioners receiving pensions below the minimum increased tenfold in 2012-22, from around 36,000 to 365,000 people
– Experts calculate not without influence on low pensions are not excavated junk contracts and low contributions that entrepreneurs and people conducting sole proprietorship pay. The Central Statistical Office in the “Statistical Yearbook of Voivodships 2024” states that the average pension in Poland in 2023 amounted to PLN 3364.38 gross. The highest benefits fall to the inhabitants of Silesia (PLN 3832.82 gross), the lowest – Świętokrzyskie (PLN 2949.48) and Podkarpackie (PLN 2919.33 PLN gross).
The valorisation of March 2024 slightly improved the situation, although not in all groups. As noted in the report “Structure of the amount of benefits paid by ZUS after valorisation in March 2024”, “The number of people receiving pensions in the amount of over PLN 7,000 increased significantly”. I am talking about an increase from 214.2 thous. up to 473.0 thousand Still, the largest percentage of pensions (11.7 percent) is pensions between 2.6 and 3 thousand. zloty.
