Conclusion I • The decreasing of workers who can pay pensions certainly will cause the raising of the retirement age and influence the living quality for seniors. • Nowadays Latvia runs a three-pillar pension system, which was started to reform soon after independence. • The share of pensions is divided in two parts-for the first pillar 18% and for the second pillar-2%.
Conclusion II • The reasons for depopulation in Latvia are negative birth balance and migration problems. • People in Latvia are having the possibility to increase their pensions by implementing 3 pillar pension system. • The size of pensions paid has been increased because of inflation and salary increase. • In Latvia there are seven private funds for now. The third pension level also supply insurance companies.
Proposals I • Government should give benefits four young people to motivate them stay in Latvia and start businesses – offer them tax reliefs, courses for young entrepreneurs for free etc. • Government should pay benefits four young families with children. • The campaign should be made like discussion in simple words, so people could realize this huge ageing problem.
Proposals II • Latvian government have to indicate specific future of 3 level pension system in country, so people will start to believe in it. • The government should explain, where the taxes paid are going, so it could help to reduce the black economy.
