| Description | Paper assessed the scope of retirement savings of self employed in the Czech Republic. Previous economic research and surveys implied the level of retirement provision is insufficient to sustain a satisfactory replacement rate. This paper quantifies the extent of the upcoming shortfall of funds and provides a comparison with available European data sets. Predicted scenario reaches crisis level in vulnerable subgroups and justifies a policy response on the tax level. |
