Abstract

The relevance of the article is justified by the need to find effective mechanisms to mitigate the effects of population aging and ensure the financial stability of the pension system in the context of demographic changes, which requires studying the role of non-state pension provision in the formation of long-term demographic trends. In view of this, the purpose of the article is to determine the role and impact of the development of non-state pension provision on the formation of long-term demographic trends, in particular, population aging and increasing life expectancy. The methodological basis of the study was the dialectical method, a systematic approach, abstraction and generalization techniques, comparative and statistical analysis, regression analysis. The novelty of the article lies in the comprehensive study of the impact of non-state pension provision on the long-term demographic development of Ukraine, in particular, population aging, financial stability of people of retirement age, labor activity and increasing life expectancy. A model of the dependence of average life expectancy at birth on the level of GDP per capita at purchasing power parity for countries of the world is built. The relationship between the level of economic development and demographic indicators, in particular in European countries and Ukraine, is substantiated. Factors and processes that influence the dynamics of the number of non-state pension funds and life insurance companies in Ukraine, as well as changes in the volume of their assets in 2015-2023, are identified. The distribution of participants in non-state pension funds by age groups and their contribution to the financial stability of the population is analyzed. A regression model of the dependence of pension payments of non-state pension funds on GDP per capita in Ukraine is constructed. The impact of non-state pension provision on demographic indicators, in particular population aging, labor activity and migration processes, is analyzed. Key factors are identified that are crucial for assessing the long-term demographic development of Ukraine and the role of non-state pension provision in shaping the financial stability of the aging population. Measures to stimulate population participation in non-state pension provision to organize the financial stability of the aging population are summarized. The development of non-state pension provision is an important tool for mitigating the effects of population aging, as it contributes to the financial stability of pensioners and reduces the burden on the state pension system. The analysis showed that there is a direct relationship between the level of economic development and the effectiveness of non-state pension provision, which is confirmed by international comparative data. The introduction of incentive measures, such as tax breaks and increasing the financial literacy of the population, is designed to significantly expand citizens’ participation in non-state pension provision and increase their level of social security.
