Summary/Abstract: Population ageing inevitably leads to deep changes in universal pension systems as well as in additional saving programmes. Raising retirement age together with relatively fast skills depreciation cause differentiation of pension system participants’ needs and their changes through the individual life span. The specific needs become increasingly important for system participants, which requires new approaches within old-age pension programmes. The article analyses relations among basic variables that determine income allocation over life cycle within old-age pension systems and programmes. The conclusions show the usefulness and the possibility of differentiation of the pension system by introducing flexible voluntary savings programmes. This creates a challenge for old-age pension services providers. Flexible pension savings programmes may contribute significantly to the development of supplementary pension security.
