adequacy, pension benefit, retirement age, seniority, social network analysisAbstract
Europe’s population is ageing. This is associated with increasing challenges for pension systems and the need to search for solutions that will allow countries to generate adequate pension benefits. The aim of the article is to present a complex network typology of adequate pension benefits in European countries. Social networks have been used as a research method. The study has taken into account the network typology resulting from pension factors such as seniority, the retirement age, the number of children, and the duration of education, separately for women and men. The correlation between networks has also been checked. The most unusual network is for the number of children among retired people. The networks for seniority and for the retirement age are the most similar to each other among all the factors examined. The obtained results show that pension systems constructed in the same way have similar patterns of the level of pension factors. Gender does not appear to differentiate connection patterns for the examined variables.
