description This article examines whether the existence of a universal pension scheme has any effect on a typical individual's willingness to take risks at a young age. The pension system will give the individual who is assumed to live for two periods a fixed amount in the second period regardless of his initial choice between certain and uncertain income patterns. It is found that with a grant in place for everyone after retirement that satisfies the basic need of consumption in any part of life where the typical individual is more risk-averse, he will always accept the risky projects that at least make him indifferent between sure incomes and uncertain profits in the first period.
