Alexei Kudrin, former minister of finance of Russia, and now head of the board of the Center for Strategic Research (CSR), spoke in favor of reducing the number of pensioners to the country.

According to Vedomosti, Kudrin suggested reducing the number of pensioners by 9%, or 3.87 million people.

The ex-politician suggests sending women to deserved rest up to 63 years and up to 65 - men, with a step of six months a year, starting in 2019.

In addition to raising the retirement age, Kudrin proposes to tighten and obtain the pension itself. For accrual of insurance part it is necessary to work out the experience. Now it annually rises to 15 years by 2024. But the ex-politician said that the experience must continue to be raised further - up to 20 years. At the same time, the minimum score by 2025 g. Should not be 30, but 52 points, according to Kudrin.

Social pension for those who did not earn on insurance, will be paid at 68 years (now - 65 years for men and 60 for women). To receive early retirement benefits, the conditions will also be toughened. So, for example, the minimum required for her experience with doctors and teachers will not exceed 35 years.

"According to the calculations of CSR experts, the implementation of the proposed measures will increase the ratio of the insurance pension to the subsistence minimum to 1.85 by 2024 and to 2.33 by 2035," the newspaper writes..

According to the Pension Fund, the average length of service for those who are now on a well-deserved vacation is 34 years, and their average score is about 110, t. On average, they earn slightly more than 3 points per year. In 2017 year. This corresponds to the payment of contributions from the salary of 22 thousand. Rubles per month, this is much lower than the average earnings in the country - 36703 rubles. last year.

At earnings at the level of SMIC (7500 rubles. ) And the payment of contributions, for the year you can earn at least 1 point. If the salary is below the minimum wage, then in this case the pension rights are not formed. However, there are maximum restrictions on points, you can earn up to 10 per year (from 2021 g. , In 2017 g. - 8.26).

But in order to earn 52 points needed by Kudrin, Russians need to work for at least 26 years with a salary of 2 minimum wages. According to Rosstat, last year the salary was less than 15 thousand. Rubles received at least 18.4% of workers, and another 8.4% of the salary was from 13800 to 17 thousand. Rubles.

In May this year, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev instructed the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economic Development from July 1, 2017. Raise the minimum wage to the subsistence minimum of the able-bodied population (now it is 10466 rubles.

The new draft law will increase the number of employees with earnings up to 2 times the minimum wage by approximately half. But with every tenth, as of 2016. , Received less than 10,600 rubles. Such a category of people, even with an increase in the minimum wage, can only rely on a social pension. And it is unlikely that this money will somehow provide them with a decent old age.

The social pension in the country now stands at 8,742 rubles, which is only 2.4% higher than the pensioner's subsistence level.
