ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on issues related to the role of voluntary schemes in a pension system
in contrast to mandatory funded schemes. First, different classifications of multipillar
pension systems are compared. The role and the place of voluntariness are analysed in the
existing pension system typologies. Second, it discusses the justification for implementing
a state policy that aims at increasing voluntary pension savings, and compares the features and macroeconomic effects of implementation of the second and the third pillar in
a pension system. The analysis is supported by data collected by the OECD regarding the
coverage and replacement rates obtained from voluntary pension plans.
