The expert explained why the retirement age in Russia may reduce

associate Professor, Russian University of Economics named after G. V. Plekhanov Farida Mirzabalaeva in interview to Agency “Prime” expressed the view that the age of retirement in Russia, may be reduced. In this decision, the expert believes, the government can go because of the situation in the labour market.

currently, the Ministry is developing a plan to overcome the crisis in the economy. One of the points of improvement could be the exit of citizens into early retirement three years earlier, not two.

“you Need to provide more chances for employment for young people”, — said Mirzabalaeva.

in the labour life, the Russians have not earned a pension, while pretensioner relatively secure state aid. The reduction of jobs for pretensioners impact of pandemic coronavirus COVID-19.

As told Mirzabaeva, in industries with “age” workers need a differentiated and flexible approach.

Another reason for accepting the decision of reducing the age of early retirement may be the state’s budget, RIA Novosti reported. The Pension Fund is short of funds, and private pension funds are often ineffective.

Mirzabalaeva suggests that early retirement can expect a half to two million people.
