Now men retire at 60 and women - 55. If the bill is passed and comes into force, the retirement age for men will rise up to 65 years for women - up to 63 years.

Not. Those who have already retired, the changes will not be affected. For the rest is supposed to gradually (every two years) an increase in the working age.

The retirement age will remain the same for several categories:
- Those who work in places with heavy, dangerous and harmful working conditions (the main requirement - their employer must honestly pay all premiums on relevant tariffs).
- Those to whom the pension is appointed before the normal retirement age for social reasons and health reasons. These are the women who gave birth and brought up rebonka-disabledWho gave birth to five or more children, invalids of the first group on sight, Chernobyl and so on.
Also the opportunity to send to retire two years earlier (ie, men - 63 years, and women - at 61) who has extensive experience - 45 and 40 years respectively. This is true now.
Those who worked in the Far North and areas equivalent to these areas can retire early. For them, offered to raise the bar to 60 years (for men) and 58 years (for women). Now the "northerners" are retired in 55 and 50 years.
Those who do not gain required to obtain pension years of service will receive a social pension for old age 70 (men) and 68 (women) years. As long as they are set threshold of 65 and 60 years respectively.
Why raise the retirement age?
This was toldGovernment meeting at a meeting of the Government of the Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. He cited three reasons:
- The current threshold is the end of the work was installed in 1964. Since then, life expectancy increased by more than 30 years, changed living conditions and working conditions. A release date for retirement remained unchanged.
- The life expectancy of Russians has reached nearly 73 years. Now, people do not just live longer - they remain active longer. Persons of retirement age 30 years ago and today - they are different people, many full of energy and desire to work.
- Almost all countries have raised the retirement age. In Russia, it still remains one of the lowest.
Dmitry Medvedev, Russian Prime MinisterIn Europe, people are finalizing more later - and 67, and 70 years. In other words, going the same way by all countries.
Some experts believe that the increase in retirement age will bring only benefits. For example, the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina arguesNabiullina: raising the retirement age have a positive impact on the labor marketThat it has a positive impact on the labor market: reduce the risk of shortage of manpower and increase production output.
In addition, in the explanatory memorandumOn the introduction of the draft federal law "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation on the appointment and payment of pensions" to the bill states that the increase in the retirement age will lead to an increase in pensions. It is projected that they will grow annually by about a thousand rubles.
