The Higher School of Economics decided to count, what percentage in Russian men and women do not live to retirement age in the so-called transition period. We are talking about the period, during which the government is going to raise the bar every year the retirement age for one year until, while it will not be 63 for women and 65 years for men.
The HSE had based his study on data HMD – Human Mortality Database and Rosstat data.
Deputy Director of the Institute of Demography of HSE Mikhail Denisenko declares, the researchers came to the following conclusion: until the age of retirement will not survive the transition period 17,4% men and 6,5% women.
Recall, that official statistics show an increase in average life expectancy in Russia. Today, According to Rosstat, the average life expectancy in Russia is about 72 years. In this case, for men - 67, for women - 77.
Even if we believe these data, it turns out, that the government is going to put the Russians in such conditions, in which, eg, the average man after retirement (at current rates) can live up to 2 years - that is to receive no more 24 pensions (excluding preferential categories). Over economical option for pension fund, in which contributions from citizens coming decades.
Recall, that the initiative is discussed in Russia, which aims, Government to consider the possibility of converting pension savings inherited asset. The issue is more urgent than ever in view of the fact, that hundreds of thousands of Russians to retirement simply do not survive.
