Calculation of old-age pensions with the help of scores did not justify itself. The government hoped that they introduced in 2015. method will help make the process of calculating the monetary content of older people more transparent.

But in fact assigning individual coefficients and their annual revision only confused citizens. Therefore, the government intends to abandon this system, explained the head of the Federation Council Committee on Social Policy Valery Ryazansky. On the eve of Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova reported that the Cabinet is to take a difficult but necessary decision to change the approach to calculating pensions. According to her, when introducing new mechanisms, people will be able to receive in their old age a content that is at least 40% of their previous average earnings. "It will be a system similar to what was before: a certain amount of money earned on the contributions of a person," the senator commented the words of the vice-premier. However, in his opinion, the general minimum and the maximum pension payments to the person will necessarily be established:

"The system is solidary, and in this case it provides for higher earnings and contributions, respectively - they should be leveled in the general system, so that it does not happen that low-paid employees do not could provide themselves a pension history, "the senator explained on the air of the" National News Service ". Last week, the government unveiled its proposals on pension reform. As a result, the age of entry to a well-deserved rest will rise to 65 years for men and 63 years for women, but already existing pensioners will be able to increase the monthly pension by 1,000. rubles per year.

The reform is planned to start in 2019.
