Pension increase in the retirement age. Who will be affected by the increase in the retirement age in Russia

Now the topic of raising the retirement age has become more acute. This is due both to the number of citizens receiving a pension (about 30% of the total population, and this figure is growing every year), and to the difficult situation in the economy. A decrease in the proportion of the working population reduces the volume of insurance pension contributions, which creates budget deficit of the Pension Fund to provide for existing retirees.

In order to get out of the crisis, the state in 2017 tried to change the pension system, considering and developing various options for reforming it. In particular, a decision (law) has already been adopted on a phased increase in the retirement age of state and municipal employees.

As early as February 1, 2017, information slipped through the media about the government’s firm intention to raise the retirement age in the near future, but on the same day it was refuted. Raising the retirement age for all citizens not provided and it will remain (at least until the end of 2018) at 55 for women and 60 for men.

At what age do women and men retire?

Each Russian citizen, upon reaching the age established by law, acquires the right to receive a pension benefit, which is for him a compensation for the income that he lost during old age. The age at which a person has the right to receive an old-age pension in 2018 is 60 for men and 55 for women is established by Federal Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 (as amended on December 29, 2015) "About insurance pensions":

• for all citizens of the Russian Federation;
• for citizens working in certain conditions and having.

The age limit also applies to foreign citizens or stateless persons who permanently reside in the territory of Russia and, subject to the conditions required by law, are entitled to.

Access to a labor (insurance) old-age pension

The old-age insurance pension is formed from contributions paid by employers for employees during their entire working period. In accordance with the legislation, an insurance pension benefit is assigned and paid to citizens upon their application, subject to the required conditions in 2018:

• - 55 years for women and 60 years for men;

  For persons with preferential service, age requirements are reduced by 5 to 10 years.

• necessary at least 9 years(the requirement for the length of service increases every year and by 2024 it will be equal to 15 years);
• presence of quantity (IPK) not lower than 13.8(The IPC value increases annually by 2.4 to the required size of 30).

Later exit citizens to retire (including early retirement) is stimulated by the state. Persons who have postponed the issuance of a pension benefit to a later date will be awarded a pension after they apply for it with the application of increasing the pension score and a fixed payment for each year of delay.

Appointment of pensions for state pension provision

Age restrictions for the appointment of certain types of state benefits are the same as for the appointment.

In accordance with the law of December 15, 2001 N 166-FZ " On state pension provision in the Russian Federation» state pensions are assigned:

The law provides for various terms of appointment and payment state benefits:

• The retirement age for federal civil servants depends on the required length of service (since 2017, it has been increased by six months until reaching 20 years; in 2018, 16 years are required).
• The retirement age for military personnel is 45 years, and they need to earn the appropriate length of service in military service.
• The disability allowance assigned to military conscripts, veterans of the Second World War or residents of besieged Leningrad is established after its acquisition and is paid to them in full, regardless of the fact of work of its recipient.
• Victims of radiation from the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant can be established, regardless of age, a disability pension, and when they reach the age of 45 or 50 years (50 or 55 years), men and women, respectively, they can be assigned a state old-age pension .
• Recipients of a social pension, which is assigned upon reaching the age of 65 and 60, the payment of benefits is terminated during the period they perform work that generates income.

For some categories of recipients, the age for the appointment of a state payment decreases subject to conditions specified by law.

State pension provision is carried out at the expense of the federal budget and is established upon application citizen.

Will the retirement age be increased?

The issue of raising the eligibility age has been actively discussed for a long time and has some controversy regarding its solution. One of the goals that is planned to be achieved through this project is to reduce budget expenditures.

One of the factors holding back this decision is low life expectancy Russian citizens, which, according to statistics, currently averages:

• 66 years for men;
• 71 years for women.

By implementing measures aimed at increasing human life expectancy, upon achieving the result, it will be possible to take measures to increase the age that gives the right to receive the appropriate pension provision.

Government on the current situation in the pension system

According to the government, the modern pension system:

• is complex, unbalanced;
• does not have financial stability;
• its current version does not provide adequate provision for retired citizens;
• frequent changes undermine citizens' confidence in its reliability.

In the context of the financial crisis, they are one of the vulnerable social groups.

Assessing the current situation in the pension system and the economic situation in the country as a whole, the Government of the Russian Federation is considering possible options for improving it, proposals aimed at eliminating the budget deficit, saving budget funds, and reducing the cost of providing pensions to citizens.

Law on raising the retirement age for civil servants

One of the latest decisions taken by the Government - legislatively . In May 2016, the State Duma adopted a relevant law, according to which the age for obtaining the right to a pension will be increased annually for six months until it reaches:

• 65 years old for men;
• 63 years old for women.

It is assumed that the effect of such a decision in the first year of its application will reduce the costs of the PFR by more than 600 million rubles, which can be directed to a general increase in pension benefits.

Entry into force of the law and its text

The law providing for an increase in the retirement age for certain categories of citizens was signed by the President of Russia. Its action will extend:

• for employees of state, regional and municipal authorities;
• on persons holding political office.

The law was signed on May 23, 2016, officially published and entered into force on January 1, 2017.

The innovations concern not only raising the age for assigning pensions. The legal act also amends other conditions:

• minimum experience work in the state structure to receive a superannuation pension increases up to 20 years(the increase will be carried out gradually every year for six months);
• age limit civil service increases for senior managers up to 70 years, for other employees up to 65 years.
• work experience to get paid to pension payments to deputies of the State Duma and the Federation Council increases to 5 years (surcharge of 55%) and up to 10 years (surcharge of 75%).

What will happen next with pensions in Russia?

Changes in the pension system are not finished and will continue. Other pension reform projects are being developed. The issue of raising the pension age for other categories of citizens who do not work in the public sector is being considered, but so far no decisions have been made on it yet not nice. Now it was decided to focus on the events approved by the legislation:

• encouraging citizens who voluntarily formalize their pension payments;
• its working recipients.

According to experts, changes in the age requirements for retirement cannot be avoided, and they will still occur in the near future.

Pros and cons of raising the retirement age

The government sees the benefits of raising retirement age is:

• retention of qualified personnel;
• budget cuts.

However, the decision to increase the age threshold has many cons:

• it is sometimes difficult for older people aged 60-65 to carry out work activities, to master new technologies, they have health problems, it is difficult for them to get a job with a decent income that allows them to ensure their comfortable existence;
• due to low life expectancy, many Russians will not be able to live up to the onset of the right to pensions; such uncertainty can lead to a lack of incentive to form a pension, an agreement to work for a salary “in an envelope”, which will reduce the amount of insurance pension contributions;
• the decision on the age increase may affect the career advancement of young specialists in certain areas of activity, since jobs will be occupied by older workers.

Citizens with work experience in the northern regions of Russia can apply for a pension ahead of schedule. The table below shows the conditions for preferential retirement for employees and residents in the North:

Note: 1 year of work in areas equated to the CS is counted as 9 months of experience in the Far North. If the established length of service has not been fully developed, but more than 7.5 years, the generally established retirement age is reduced by 4 months for each full year of work in the Constitutional Court.

Until the end of 2018, the retirement age for northerners was 55 and 50 years. As part of the pension reform, these values increased by 5 years. But these changes will not be introduced immediately, but with a gradual increase in the standard during 2019-2023 (table below).

Note:* - In 2019 and 2020, there is a benefit that allows you to retire six months ahead of schedule.

Retirement of teachers and health workers

And employees can take out an insurance pension for long service ahead of time\:

• for teachers, educators, educators, etc. — 25 years work by profession;
• for doctors, nurses, paramedics, etc.:
  • working in rural areas or urban-type settlements - 25 years;
  • working in the city or with mixed experience - 30 years.

Until the end of 2018, the retirement date for these categories was determined by the date of completion of the special length of service in the profession. As of 2019, this rule has been adjusted as follows:

• Retirement of a teacher or health worker now postponed for 5 years regarding the date of development of professional experience (medical or pedagogical).
• During the transition period (2019-2022), the delay will be less:
  • in 2019 - six months;
  • in 2020 - a year and a half;
  • in 2021 - three;
  • in 2022 - four;
  • starting from 2023 and beyond - five years.

At the same time, no changes were made by law regarding the duration of the special experience - they remained the same. In addition, there are no restrictions on the type of activity of a citizen during the period of this delay: he can either continue to work at the same place, or quit or change jobs.

Early pension based on length of service: 37 years and 42 years

From January 1, 2019, pension legislation contains a new basis for early old-age pension - work experience and. Citizens with such a long work experience can apply for pension payments 2 years ahead of schedule but not before 55/60.

The reduction of the retirement age is carried out in relation to the generally established value of the retirement age, taking into account transitional provisions according to the following scheme:

After the transition period of the reform is completed, citizens with a long work experience will leave at a fixed age - women at 58, men at 63.

Retirement of mothers with many children under the new law

Mothers of many children can retire early in old age:

• — at 57;59 60 Retirement age for mothers with 3 children 57 with 4 children 56 with 5 children 50

  As can be seen from the table, mothers of many children 1964-1965 year of birth those who have three children, it is more profitable to retire according to the general rules - in this case, the retirement age will be lower. Same for mothers with 4 children 1964 year of birth.

Every year, the budget deficit of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation increases, billions of rubles are annually allocated from the Federal budget to cover it. To reduce the costs of the state budget, the Government of the Russian Federation resorts to different methods of solving this problem. For example, the financial and economic blocs of the Government insist on the need to increase the retirement age for all citizens of the Russian Federation, while the social bloc strongly opposes this initiative. This issue has not yet been finally resolved, but for now the Government of the Russian Federation resorts to other methods of cost reduction - this is an indefinite cessation of indexation of pensions for working pensioners, "freezing" pension savings, raising the retirement age for civil servants.

Law on raising the retirement age for civil servants

Many experts are confident that raising the retirement age for civil servants is a preparatory stage for an appropriate measure for all categories of citizens of the Russian Federation.

The federal law on raising the retirement age for civil servants No. 143 dated May 23, 2016 amended the Federal Law No. 3 dated May 8, 1994 and entered into force on January 1, 2017.

This draft law on raising the retirement age for civil servants was adopted by the State Duma on May 11, 2016 and was approved by the Federation Council on May 18, 2016. There is no separate presidential decree on raising the retirement age, to be guided by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated December 31, 2005 No. 1574 as amended on January 26, 2017 "On the Register of Positions of the Federal State Civil Service" to determine whether you are a civil servant or not.

The Law on Extending the Retirement Age for Civil Servants introduces new conditions and procedures for providing pensions to those citizens who hold positions in the state and municipal service in the Russian Federation and its constituent entities.

It is worth noting that the draft law on increasing the retirement age for civil servants provides for the right of subjects and municipal self-government bodies to independently determine the amount of pension payments and additional payments to pensions, determine the requirements for the duration of work, etc. for citizens who conduct state and municipal service. At the same time, all relevant costs for these initiatives are fully assigned to the municipal budgets.

Retirement age of civil servants in Russia since 2017

Prior to the adoption of the Federal Law on raising the retirement age for civil servants, it was 55 years for women and 60 years for men. These are generally established age norms in the Russian Federation for the onset of old-age pension grounds. Since 2017, the requirements for the retirement age of civil servants in Russia have increased and amounted to 65 and 63 years for men and women, respectively.

According to state statistics, these changes have affected more than 1 million citizens holding positions in state, regional and municipal authorities, as well as deputies and senators. As well as more than 70 thousand officials who were supposed to retire in the near future.

It should be noted that the increase in the retirement age for civil servants will take place gradually, increasing annually by six months during the transition period, until it reaches its maximum. It will be reached by 2026 for male civil servants, and by 2032 for female civil servants.

Which civil servants are subject to an increase in the retirement age

After the law on raising the retirement age for civil servants came into force, the question arose of who exactly belongs to this category?

This Federal Law and the changes introduced by it affected officials at all levels:

• persons holding a public position in the Russian Federation and its subjects;
• persons who replace municipal positions on a permanent basis;
• persons who hold public office. civil and municipal service.

These include: employees of the Federal Tax Service, employment services, statistics department, federal department. treasury, judicial authorities, executive authorities - bailiffs, Roslesnadzor, etc.

Employees of budgetary organizations (teachers, doctors, kindergarten teachers, teachers of state universities and employees of research institutes), as well as ordinary employees of various authorities (cleaners, programmers, etc.) do not belong to this category and are not subject to an increase in the retirement age of civil servants .

Extending the retirement age for civil servants

Since 2017, not only the retirement age has increased for civil servants, but also a number of other age requirements that are taken into account when assigning pensions to this category of citizens.

So, along with the retirement age, the maximum possible period for conducting public service has increased. Now it is 65 years, but can be increased to 70 years by mutual agreement of the employee and the employer, after the conclusion of a fixed-term employment contract.

The minimum length of service for the civil service has also increased, the achievement of which entitles an official to a seniority pension and the appointment of a monthly supplement to the pension, up to 20 years (previously it was 15 years). It, as well as the requirements for the retirement age, will increase gradually and will reach a maximum by 2026.

All civil servants are entitled to a seniority pension paid in addition to the insurance old-age (disability) pension, as well as in case of early retirement, if the length of service of the official is not less than the period indicated in the table, in the year the pension was awarded.

It is worth noting that all these changes do not apply to those citizens who have already received the right to a service pension before 01/01/2017.

Retirement age for civil servants in 2017

In addition to the above changes, in 2017 the requirements for the minimum term of office of members of the Federal Assembly and State Duma deputies increased from 1 year to 5 years. For deputies - this period is the time of service during one convocation of the Duma. Fulfillment of this requirement entitles members and deputies to an additional payment to the insurance pension in the amount of 55%. To receive an increased amount of payment (75%), it is necessary to fulfill these powers from 3 to 10 years.

Raising the retirement age for civil servants is one of the measures to reduce the costs of the PFR. Already in 2017, this will save the off-budget fund 600 million rubles, which will be used to fulfill other obligations of the PFR to current pensioners.

RANEPA experts, whose developments are used by the government, have prepared scenarios for raising the retirement age. The most rational would be a gradual increase for men to 63 years, for women - up to 60 years, the authors believe.

The retirement age in Russia needs to be increased: if everything is left as it is, the burden on the economy will increase, and real pensions will decrease, follows from the report “Raising the Retirement Age: Positive Effects and Possible Risks”, prepared by experts from the RANEPA, a state academy whose calculations often enter the government.

Economists Yuri Gorlin, Viktor Lyashok and Tatyana Maleva have developed four scenarios for raising the retirement age, assessing their financial impact and social risks. The best option in their analysis is to increase the retirement age to 63 years for men and to 60 years for women with a step of “plus three months to the retirement age” annually in the first four years of the reform, then six months annually ( see infographic).

“The developments of RANEPA experts are always analyzed by the government, some of them are used in decision-making,” a source in the government’s social block told RBC. For example, on providing families with a monthly payment at the birth of the first child and payments from the mother's capital at the birth of the second, it was RANEPA experts who developed it, Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets said at the RSPP forum on February 7. “I thank the Academy of National Economy, Tatyana Mikhailovna Maleva, it was her idea,” Golodets said.

Why should the retirement age be raised?

The most important parameter of the Russian pension system is the ratio of the number of employees for whom insurance premiums are paid and the number of pensioners, the authors note. In 2018, the proportion of the population older than the current retirement age (for men - 60 years, for women - 55) will be 25.5%, by 2030 it will increase to 28.3%, follows from the average version of the Rosstat demographic forecast. According to the forecast of the Ministry of Economic Development, by the mid-2030s, the number of pensioners will equal the number of employees for whom insurance premiums are paid, and then exceed it. This means that already in 2036, a working citizen will be financially responsible for himself, his family and additionally for one pensioner, and in the future - for more than one, RANEPA economists write.

This gap will widen due to an “unprecedented in scale and duration” decline in the economically active population: the decline in the working-age population for the period from 2017 to 2030 will be 4 million people, according to the forecast of Rosstat.

Demographics are not the only problem, economists say. In Russia, a significant shadow sector of the economy has formed, within which contributions to the pension system are not deducted from salaries, which reduces the volume of its income. The retirement age in Russia is low compared to OECD countries - for men it is four years lower than the European average, for women it is eight years lower. And as a result of the spread of early pensions, the actual age of the beginning of payments is less than the legislative one. Finally, the average length of service is now lower than in the mid-1930s, when the current retirement age was set and has not changed since.

If the retirement age is left unchanged, then, according to RANEPA experts, in order to maintain the current ratio of the average pension to the average salary (about 35%), it will be necessary to increase the rate of insurance pension contributions by 5 percentage points. (now the tariff is 22%), that is, to increase the burden on employers. Or increase the transfer to the Pension Fund from the federal budget from 2.3% of GDP in 2016 to 3.6% of GDP by 2050. If nothing is done, the pension in relation to the salary will decrease from the current 35% to 24% by 2050. “This option entails high social and political risks: an increase in social tension, an even greater spread of poverty, a decrease in economic activity, a shadow economy, etc.,” economists sum up.

How to raise your retirement age

The main goal of increasing the retirement age is to increase opportunities for pension growth and reduce the burden on the budget and economy of the pension system, the authors of the calculations say. The pension reform in Russia has serious demographic limitations, experts say.

At the current retirement age of 60 years for men, their life expectancy in retirement is about 16 years, and the probability of 20-year-old men surviving to retirement age is 68%. With an increase in the retirement age to 63 years, the probability of surviving to this age and living long in retirement for Russian men becomes one of the lowest among developed countries (below the level of Ukraine, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Belarus).

Russian young women today are more likely to live to retirement age (92%) and live longer in retirement (about 26 years). With an increase in the retirement age for women to 60 years, Russia's indicators will be at an average level (between Sweden and Slovakia), up to 63 years they will become the worst among developed countries.

The retirement age should be raised to 63 years for men and 60 years for women - this is the best scenario in terms of balancing financial and social consequences, economists say. The increase should be gradual so that the population and the labor market can better adapt. The rate of increase in the retirement age should not exceed three to six months a year. The financial effect was calculated by experts as a change in the balance of income/expenditures of the pension system in comparison with the base case, when the retirement age does not change.

Experts emphasize that the authorities should determine a transparent scheme for the distribution of additional income from the fact that people will work longer. It is important to explain to citizens that a certain part of the proceeds will be used to increase the size of pensions, and not just to save budget funds. “Otherwise, the social resistance of the population will be quite justified, and it is possible that it will become an insurmountable barrier to further reform of the entire pension system,” economists point out.

Why the retirement age should not be changed

Today, a significant part of working pensioners are employed in low-paid jobs, for them a pension is an additional income to their salary, which helps to maintain a standard of living. As a result of raising the retirement age, the poverty rate may increase, the authors cite possible counterarguments against the scenarios. In this case, the state will have to increase spending on social protection of the population.

The population of Russia is characterized by poor health, and with the achievement of retirement age there is a loss of working capacity. The average length of a healthy life span for men is 61 years, and it is impossible to extend the retirement age beyond the threshold of old age - this will lead to an increase in mortality, believes Alexander Safonov, Vice-Rector of the Academy of Labor and Social Relations. According to him, 50% of the population aged 60 have diseases, on the basis of which it is possible to draw up a disability pension.

Raising the retirement age creates risks of rising unemployment among both young people and older workers, the expert continues. “The age of discrimination in the labor market starts at 45. 70% of those left on the labor market will remain unemployed. The labor market will not be able to digest these people, there is nowhere to arrange them, ”Safonov told RBC. Unemployment will stop the growth of wages, the payroll in dynamics will begin to lag behind the inflation rate. “Pension obligations, which are indexed to inflation, will grow faster than the income base of the pension system,” Safonov warns. Kudrin said in January 2017.

“The decision to change the retirement age has not been made. A broad public discussion of this issue is needed. The Ministry of Labor of Russia cooperates with a wide range of experts on issues of state social policy, ”the press service of the Ministry of Labor told RBC. The Ministry of Finance forwarded RBC's request to the Ministry of Labor. The Ministry of Economic Development did not respond to a request at the time of publication.

The retirement age is different from the generally established standards. This applies to the following categories of citizens:

From 2019, Russians with a long work experience can retire early -. Such a basis was introduced in order to mitigate the consequences of conducting.

Note that since 2017, the retirement age has been gradually increasing to 63 and 65 years.

Retirement age in Russia since 2019

On January 1, 2019, Law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018 came into force, according to which the retirement age, the achievement of which allows a Russian citizen to issue insurance old-age pension payments, was increased by 5 years. The retirement age is now 65 for men and 60 for women.
