Resumo:This paper focuses on reviewing progress made in Belarus, relevant to MIPAA priority directions and presents a critical reflection on the main issues, milestones and challenges of this process. To illustrate concomitant contradictions, the paper focuses on changes in pension regulations in Belarus since 2002. It reflects on attempts to create an effective system of motivators for postponing the receipt of pensions in later life, and pointing out inconsistencies and lessons it presented. The paper concludes with outlining possible avenues for development and underlining the value of research and engagement with the public in designing programmes addressed to improve wellbeing in an ageing society.
