Everyone is faced with the concept of retirement age. For this reason, you need to know what the retirement age should be . In Russia, women go on well-deserved rest earlier than men, despite the fact that, according to statistics, the former live ten years longer than the latter.
Retirement Age Act
More than eighty years ago, a retirement age was established for men and women, on the basis of which going on vacation occurs at 60 and 55 liters. respectively. Since then, age limits have not changed.
Not so long ago, the government proposed changing the retirement age. This is due to the fact that almost every third pensioner continues to work after retirement. For this reason, the government has proposed changing the age to allow people to work longer for their personal interests.
In 2017, the retirement age in Russia remains the same as it was during the Soviet Union: women retire at 55 and men at 60. However, some changes have been introduced since this year. All citizens involved in public service must retire later.
Pension for women
The retirement age of women in Russia depends on the type of benefits granted and working conditions. If a woman works in hazardous jobs, she may retire earlier.
To retire at a specified age, you must also have the appropriate experience. Under the new law, by 2025, the minimum length of service should be 15 liters.
The innovation was the introduction of a point system. According to the government’s plan, women will be able to retire at 55 by 2025 if they have 30 points and 15 liters. experience.
It was decided to approach these indicators gradually, increasing each year the number of experience and points. This year, the minimum length of service is eight years, and the number of points is 11. Next year, the length of service should be nine years.
Pension for men
The retirement age in Russia is greater for men than for women. Under current law, the stronger sex has the right to request a pension at the age of 60. Moreover, the conditions for assigning payments are almost the same as for women.
Retirement Age Change
In the last few years, every citizen is interested in the issue of increasing the retirement age. The latest proposal by the government voiced the need to raise the retirement age in Russia to 65. However, there will not be a sharp increase. In terms of pension reform - a gradual increase in the age of citizens who are going to go on a well-deserved rest. The new rules apply only to civil servants. For people working in other areas, the age framework will remain the same.
Early departure for women
For women, early retirement is provided. Benefits can be used by everyone who:
- He worked for seven years in hazardous jobs. In this case, women can go on a well-deserved rest at the age of 45 if they have 7 years of experience.
- Upon reaching 50 years, a woman can retire if she had difficult working conditions, while working on railway transport, in the subway, as well as those who raised 8 or more children.
- Those who have two or more children and have worked for at least 12 years in the conditions of the civil service or 17 years in an area equivalent to the civil service can go to 50.
If a woman lives in the Far North and is engaged in reindeer husbandry, the retirement age is 45.
Northern pension
The retirement age in Russia in the Far North differs from the generally accepted one. Every citizen working in such conditions can count on benefits.
The length of service in the northern regions is 9 months of work in the conditions of the COP. With the development of experience of 15 years, you can go on a well-deserved rest. At the same time, the citizen's age should be 45 and 50 years, respectively, for women and men. However, some types of work allow you to go on vacation earlier than the set deadline (women at 40, men at 45), if their work is associated with a health hazard.
Retirement age of military personnel
The military is placed in a separate category. Certain retirement conditions have been developed for them.
The age of a man’s retirement in Russia depends not only on the length of service, but also on his rank. Admirals, colonel generals retire at the age of 65. Five years earlier, Major General and Rear Admiral can take a well-deserved rest. Colonels and captains retire at the age of 55. The rest of the military has the right to apply for benefits at the age of 50, but these rules apply only to men. Women military have the right to go on well-deserved rest at the age of 45.
Due to the increase in the retirement age, people of a more mature age may go to work in the civil service, as changes in the pension legislation also affected the age of candidates for open vacancies. For example, now they can take on contract service beginners without experience at the age of 30 years. For 20 years of military service, a man manages to get the necessary experience and calmly go on a well-deserved rest.
