CAN THE ROMANIAN PENSION SYSTEM BECOME A PERFORMANT ONE?

Starting from the fact that pensions are the key elements of social protection systems, this study aims to analyze the social policy in Romania in terms of internal and external factors that represent a barrier to the sustainability of the system compared to the achievements of social policy at EU level. Because a major question that concerns much of the population is if the pension system can give us a decent pension in old age, the objective of this study is to identify the main issues facing this part of the social protection in Romania and to develop recommendations that will improve the social climate in our country.
