Will we live to see retirement? The main question that worries Russians. What will be the result of the autumn reading on the adoption of the bill concerning the increase in the pension reform. The government claims that pensioners will heal better, their pensions will be raised, and the country's economy will improve. Is this how it will be in reality?
Raising the retirement age is one of the most discussed topics in the country today among the population. Everyone is concerned about the fate of the elderly and their own destiny. Will this bill be passed?
Why has the country decided to extend the retirement period?
According to Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev, the working-age population in Russia is sharply decreasing, and it is thanks to the working class and their tax deductions that the state pays pensions to the elderly. Is it really? The Prime Minister announced that the Pension Fund is experiencing a shortage of funds in its budget. Six trillion rubles are spent annually on pension payments, and four trillion rubles are paid in taxes from the wages of the working-age population, the remaining amount has to be paid to the state from the budget. These are the main reasons why it is necessary to raise the retirement age and start this increase, as D. A. Medvedev put it. needed soon. Otherwise, there may come a time when there will be nothing to pay the pension with. Also, the Prime Minister notes the fact that, according to statistics, the life expectancy of the population has increased in the country. On average, she reaches the age of 73 years. In return, the people are promised to increase their pension by 1000 rubles.
Serious unrest among the population
Russians disagree with the government's decision and the new bill. In the opinion of the people, the decision to increase the retirement period for women to 63 years old, and a man to 65 years, was made with the aim of not paying the pension at all, because there will be no time to pay. The situation with life expectancy in the country in reality is very different from the statistics provided by the government. In addition, such an innovation condemns people of pre-retirement age to live up to retirement on pennies, or even without money. Not a single employer will keep at work, much less employ an old, sick, slow person. That is why a number of rallies and pickets have already taken place in the country against such an innovation.
The timing of the start of the reform
After lengthy discussions, it was decided to start the pension reform from January 2019, increasing the period of retirement every calendar year by 6 months. It is proposed to start reaching out to men from 1959. and women born in 1964 Already these ages will retire 2 and 1 year (respectively) later. The government noted that it is not worth raising the retirement age at lightning speed, but it should not hesitate. Therefore, the end of the reform is scheduled for 2028. The first reading in the State Duma has already passed and, as a result, the bill was adopted. The next reading is scheduled for autumn. What the people should expect from him is not yet known.
