摘要：The aim of this study is to compare Lithuanian and Swedish pension systems from the point of viewof their design and performance in order to elaborate reasonable recommendations to Lithuanian pension policybased on the best Swedish experience. Swedish income, premium and guaranteed old-age pensions systemare compared with the analogous Lithuanian system of the “first,” “second” pillars and the “social” pensions.The main features of the systems are discussed, and the performance of the systems, mainly from the pointof view of adequacy, is compared. The differences in system design and performance are identified, and thepossible reasons of these differences are examined. Special attention is paid to differences in financing andthe approach to the definition of benefits. The Lithuanian pension points approach is compared to the SwedishNotional Defined Contribution (NDC) approach. Each system is analyzed, and the relevance of transformingthe Lithuanian first pillar pensions into a NDC system is examined.
