Abstract: Existing ongoing pension systems funding puts increasing demands on productive populations and taxpayers and is also a burden on government budgets. The priority area within the public policies of the EU member states is to ensure sustainable and adequate old-age pensions, which, in the current situation, the underdevelopment of financial resources is not easy. For this reason, we sought to identify alternative ways of financing the saturation of the needs of retirement people through investment wealth in real estate that could be incorporated into the reformed pension system. Within the framework of the project, we will address: the current efficiency of pension systems in selected countries. We will set out approaches to their quantification with a link to the standard of living of retirees. We will propose alternative ways of financing the seniors' living needs and, based on empirical data, we will verify the effectiveness of the model.
