Themselves to blame for raising the retirement age: need to give birth more
In the next issue of the channel “Ushi Mashut Oslom”, a Russian political analyst, media expert Oleg Matveychev discusses the need to raise the retirement age in Russia. According to the political scientist, such an unpopular reform is a consequence of declining fertility, which began in the beginning of the 70 of the 20 century and led today to the fact that there are more pensioners in the country than the working population that contains them.
He is convinced that the reform criticized by society direct result of the actions of the citizens of this society, referring to the generation of 70-80's.
It was these people who started and supported restructuring, demanded changes, exchanged the country for “ripped jeans and chewing gum”, participated in the collapse of the Soviet Union, in which there were many social guarantees, including a guaranteed pension. It was these people who, in 90, evaded taxes and did not support the pension system, now, having reached the retirement age, began to demand a decent pension.
Oleg Matveychev is trying to predict further developments in the event of the abolition of the new pension reform. He believes that by 2030, Russia will need more than 4 millions of new working-age population to support retirees. With a low birth rate, such a figure can only be achieved with the help of migrants and thus go along the path of development of modern Europe, which today suffocates from these same migrants.
Nevertheless, a political scientist takes the same Europe as a model and, after analyzing world statistics, says that in all developed European countries, the retirement age is 65 years and above.
Raising the retirement age, according to the expert, is a universal global trend, which Russia cannot avoid.
The next opinion from the series "support the government initiative" and "the people themselves are to blame."
