Summary:Before the war, the Ukrainian Pay-As-You-Go pension system required large government transfers. Since then, large scale emigration and an increasing number of people eligible for pensions have further increased the need for government transfers and exacerbated the challenges of population ageing.

Reform of the system must encourage participation, secure liveable pensions, and safeguard the system's fiscal sustainability.
