One of the most urgent social problems in Russia, which worries most of the population - this is the recent announcement by the Government that in 2020 it is planned gradual increase in the retirement age to 63-65 years.The debate on whether to introduce such unpopular measures do not cease for a long time.To understand the place of the Russian pension system changes necessary to examine the arguments put forward by both sides and see whether it makes sense in the transformation of the existing legislation on the subject.
Today, the age at which the Russians are leaving jobs and go on a holiday, is 60 years for men (this period may be reduced due to the difficult conditions of work) and 55 years for women (for them is also possible to change agelower side).Increasing the retirement age means retirement for both sexes 63 years.
According to the supporters of this decision, it will help in the future to reduce the burden on the state's economy and the working population, since a few years the ratio of retirees and working people is such that to maintain even the current level of pensions will not be possible.
To avoid a collapse of the economy, you can select one of the three outputs: increased interest rates of contributions to the pension fund, to increase the birth rate to the number of employed persons exceeded the number of retirees and raise the retirement age.According to the heads of economic departments, the rate hike will not be able to cover all the necessary costs and cause many employers to start paying "gray" wages.Enlarge birth immediately - priori utopian idea, therefore, the best way out of this economic impasse is to increase the retirement age in Russia.
Regarding the position of the opponents of such actions on the part of the state, it is based largely on the existing standard of living in the country.Since the majority of Russians retirement accompanied by a sharp deterioration in his, many of them continue to work.That is, according to opponents of the measure, and should help to avoid raising the retirement age.Russia will have to accept the fact that for some time citizens will be forced to work and after 60 years, but with the time when the demographic situation will become more stable, pensioners will be able to stay at home after the age of 60.
addition, an important argument in the dispute is the fact that according to statistics, the average age of death for men in Russia is just about the age limit of 60 years.Therefore, an increase in the retirement age will not help improve the state of affairs in the economy - working after retirement is simply no one.In addition, the health of the citizens of today is that many of them will be able to "trick" the state, and with the adoption of the law in question will simply formalize sootsvetstvuyuschuyu disability pension.
Another reason not to take this decision is the fact that most of today working citizens in pre-retirement age, are not competitive in the modern labor market, and, therefore, they can not, and employment.
other words, an increase in the retirement age in Russia - is not only an extremely unpopular measure, which immediately destroys the ratings of the politician who dares to this idea put into practice.This is largely devoid of meaning and idea, the embodiment of which can result in even more problems in the economy than there is in the present moment.
