Today in the lower house of parliament passed the first reading, not only the bill on improving the pension system. Also, the people's representatives ratified Convention No. 102 "On Minimum Standards of Social Security". It provides for payments on a well-deserved rest of at least 40% of the average salary, if the pension law is adopted. Both initiatives should enter into force simultaneously - from January next year, said Deputy Minister of Labor of the Russian Federation Andrey Pudov. The Convention protects the citizen from all sides, since it contains the most important areas of the social sphere. It contains sections that contain guarantees for medical care, sickness and old age security. It is also aimed at protection in connection with an accident at work and an occupational disease. Guarantees the provision of maternity, disability and survivors. For each of the above parts in the ratified agreement there is a "decoding" of the covered risks and the minimum requirements of the "defendants". The document also contains information on the amount of compensation or the volume of services provided. In addition, there is indicated the duration of the content and length of service to get it. All of the above sections have been adopted by the Russian government.

However, in the Convention there are three more. Missing items are already being implemented in our country in other forms, explained Pudov. "We have a better situation than the one proposed by the Convention," he explained.. The explanatory note states that the international treaty contains the main principles of organizing and managing social security in a market economy. Thanks to its legal force, these principles will be fixed in the legal framework for social security of Russia. The developers are sure that ratification will be the guarantor of the most effective combination of social and market mechanisms created by years of international practice. The obligations provided by the Convention are supported without budgetary financing, but through insurance mechanisms, the Deputy Minister stressed.. It also says that the average insurance pension will be within 40% of the average salary. According to the politician, this will become possible only after the pension system is improved. "We made such calculations, moreover, we coordinated them with the ILO (International Labor Organization - IF), they allow us to conclude that, given the changes that are proposed for consideration in the near future in terms of changing the parameters of the pension system , we will be the minimum social standard about 40% of the replacement coefficient of individual earnings to individual pensions to fulfill. And even for high-profit groups, "Pudov said during a meeting of the Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs. The highest mark for the calculation of pensions, according to the deputy minister, will be the maximum value of the base for calculating insurance premiums, which in a year will be a little over a million rubles. This figure implies a salary of about 85 thousand rubles a month. That is, 40% of this amount is equivalent to 34 thousand. It is within these boundaries that there will be a possible insurance pension. "Within the insured earnings, which is being implemented as part of the security, this replacement rate of 40% will also be realized," Pudov assured, adding that the pension is calculated from the salary that the citizen received during the whole work activity. Therefore, the basis for calculating payments is less. The average salary in Russia is about the order. On average, the average monthly salary, according to him, is 40,000 rubles. Based on this amount, the estimated pension will be around 16 thousand. rubles. This figure, assured the Ministry of Labor, is correlated with the government's plans for indexing pensions, if the new law passes all three readings. "We have 80 thousand people who do not live with us throughout their lives.. Therefore, when we take the entire insurance segment, starting from 20 years, there are average values ??

- there the average earnings in the Russian Federation are out, that is, there are about 40 thousand. That is, we are implementing the replacement rate, "the deputy minister explained.. According to the Convention ratified today, there are 55 states. Among them, most European countries, as well as Israel, Japan, Mexico, Brazil and Senegal. The document was adopted by the 35th session of the General Conference of the International Labor Organization in Geneva in 1952. Almost three years later, the Convention entered into force.
