Alterations of pension system dynamics are nowadays in a focal point of political discussion. The aging population demographics in the EU countries forces local governments to adjust their social security systems to avoid tax overburdening of the economically productive population. On the flip side, governments need to ensure sufficiently high retirement payments for pensioners are in place to cover life expenses and assure a certain standard quality of life. This thesis examines the characteristics of pension systems in select EU countries, namely Austria, Germany, and Slovakia, together with a contrast and comparison of these systems to the one currently in use in the Czech Republic. Specifically, this thesis elaborates on comparing the demographic and economic factors in the aforementioned countries as well as the influence of these factors on the level of the retirement income (factors include, e.g., average monthly wages, average monthly pension, average housing and utilities costs, etc.). The subsequent comparative analysis is an amalgamation of select study materials and statistical calculations based on the results of the questionnaire survey conducted as part of this thesis work.
