An increase in the minimum age for retirement will make it possible, by 2025, to achieve economic growth rates above the world average. This is stated in the study of the Development Center of the Higher School of Economics. Experts believe that raising the retirement age and improving the quality of human capital will ensure Russia's GDP growth after 2020 at a level of more than 3% per year, and after 2025 - 3.7%. However, in their opinion, in order to achieve the set goals, it is necessary to simultaneously increase investments in the economy. In addition, to improve the quality of human capital, it is necessary to improve labor productivity, which in turn requires raising the standard of living, literacy, education and longevity. According to the author of the study, Director of the Center for Development of the Higher School of Economics Natalia Akindinova, for a more significant acceleration of the economy, it is necessary to reduce the mortality rate among the working-age population to the European level, as well as improve the quality of schooling.

Increase in retirement age from 2020 to 63 years for men and women can make a positive trend in the country's GDP growth, experts say. However, in their opinion, in order to achieve world average growth rates, it is also necessary to increase consumer demand. But for this purpose, it is necessary to index wages and increase real incomes of the population, Izvestiya writes. Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that Russians should take care of a decent pension themselves, noting that state funded systems will help the citizens of the country in this matter, TV channel "360".
