Appointed to the post of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, one of the priority measures for the new cabinet named the revision of legislation in the sphere of pension. Medvedev said, the bar that the retirement age should be reviewed taking into account the current realities. From the statement of the Prime Minister (quotes "Russia 24"):
We need to make a decision about the retirement age. Pprezhnie output frame for retirement accepted, in fact, in the 1930s, when the average life expectancy was in the area 40 years. A system increasingly influenced by demographic changes, and the future government should take into account all, imperfect system, it is necessary to improve.
If you look at the statistics, which is represented in the B.Urlanisa "The birth rate and life expectancy in the USSR" by 1963 of the year, it is approved, What's on 1939 year average life expectancy in the USSR was 42 of the year. However, when meeting with these statistics is necessary to focus on the, that in the 30s of the last century in a significant negative statistical data on life expectancy has contributed infant and child mortality. At least a third of births while the children die before the age of 5. For obvious reasons,, this factor leads to the figures on life expectancy, He mentioned by Medvedev.
However, in his speech, no word sounded about, that in modern families the number of children for more than three - a rarity, in contrast to, that was in the Soviet Union in the same 30-ies. Therefore, it turns out, that the increase in life expectancy in the country does not mean that, which significantly increased the number of elderly people.
medvedev:
The government will prepare its proposals in the very short term and will contribute to the State Duma. I hope, we will be able to consider them
Recall, Earlier against raising the retirement age even expressed Alexei Kudrin, stated, that in the current macroeconomic environment, it will not give a positive effect.
