Trust in the Pension System in the Mirror of Scientific Discourse: a Sociological Analysis

In the article, the authors consider the need to study the credibility of the pension system. The conducted sociological research using the method of quantitative and qualitative content analysis revealed the current level of scientific interest in the topic of trust in the pension system and related entities and institutions that play an important role in the functioning of the pension system. The object of the study was trust as a social phenomenon, and the subject was citizens’ trust in the pension system. The study revealed that trust is most often viewed as institutional, social, political, and digital trust. There were very few scientific publications directly related to trust in the pension system, which indicates that the topic has not been sufficiently studied in scientific discourse over the past 10 years. Given the emergence of new long-term savings tools, including for future pension provision, the issue of trust in the pension system is becoming relevant and requires more in-depth scientific coverage.
