The authorities must report an increase in the retirement age in 2018.. , if the basis for development will be taken by the report of Vnesheconombank. This is the opinion of Vladimir Nazarov, Deputy Director of the Institute for Social Analysis and Forecasting of the Russian Academy of Science and Technology. According to the expert, raising the retirement age for Russians from 2020. quite possible. But the population will be informed about this by all means, in advance, one and a half to two years before the time of "X", that is, in the current year. Then people who are going to retire just in 2020 can mentally prepare for this event. Removing the cherished pension plate will be gradual, 2-3 months a year, a maximum of six months, Nazarov said.. "There are several examples when they jerked for a year or two, but this is an exception. Basically, the classics are six months ", he explained to RIA Novosti,. At the same time, he is sure that he should not be afraid of an increase of more than 7-8 years: "It seems to me that setting more ambitious goals than 62 or 63 years is wrong. Psychologically, society is not ready for higher ages, and it is not necessary to do this, because for a woman, for example, this way (raising the retirement age) will take 16 years. And in 16 years everything will be different, "Nazarov said.. On the eve of VEB published its macroeconomic forecast of the country's development for 2018-2021. It envisages the beginning of a gradual increase in the retirement age for men and women from 2020, but it is not specified how long this process will take. However, VEB's forecast is not yet a decision of the authorities.

As the head of the Social Committee of the Federation Council Valery Ryazansky said, the draft law on raising the retirement age neither in the government, nor in the State Duma, nor in the Federation Council is prepared, the president did not give any instructions to anyone. In an interview with RIA Novosti, he stressed that, in accordance with the Strategy for Pension Development, the retirement age in the Russian Federation should not change until 2030. And then, perhaps, the country will do without such measures. After all, "the economic efficiency of raising the retirement age is negligible," the senator.
