Equality In Old-Age Security In Poland

Defining the scope and form of old-age security should be based, among other things, on the principles of social justice and equality. Equality is the manifestation, and the instantiation of social justice and it means the equal treatment of equals. Therefore, distribution, especially the one made in the pension system, does not have to be equal, but it is to serve everyone, so it has to be fair and based on the cooperation system. Unfortunately, many pension privileges in Poland are not implementing the principle of equality. The study analysed, on the basis of a nationwide survey conducted in 2016, public opinions on equality in the pension system. In addition, in the paper, I show expenditures for retirement benefits of privileged persons in the Polish pension system. The aim of the article is to present the equality in the pension system in Poland, both in the theoretical aspect, and in the practical aspect. The logistic regression method was applied while attempting to reach the research aim of this study. In the paper, also, the following research methods were applied: statistical analysis, economic analysis of the law and analysis of documents.
