Summary/Abstract: In terms of demographic aging, falling employment rates, the economic and financial crisis, many Europeancountries have problems in ensuring the sustainability of the pension system. In the case of Romania,between 1990 and 2017 there was a sharp increase of the number of pensioners, from 3679 thousandpersons in 1990, to 5257 thousand persons in 2017, while the number of employees, who currently supportthe pension fund, decreased from 8156 thousand persons in 1990 to 4759 thousand persons in 2017. Ithas thus come to the fact that in Romania the number of pensioners exceeds the number of employees,which raises serious questions about the sustainability of the pension system. The paper highlights someaspects regarding the dynamics and structure of the number of pensioners in Romania during 1990-2017.
