The number of pensioners registered with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation decreased by 970 thousand in 2021 – this is the maximum decrease since the early 1990s. It is reported by RBC with reference to the PFR data.
As of January 1, 2022, more than 42 million people were registered with the FIU. This does not include recipients of pensions in the system of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee, and so on (about 2.7 million people in total).
The number of “civilian” pensioners in Russia has been declining since 2019 – then there was a reform to increase the retirement age. According to the publication, since 2020, the number of Russian pensioners has begun to decline faster than initial forecasts due to the pandemic. Before the pandemic, it was allowed to reduce the number of pensioners by 317 thousand people in 2020, as reported in the fund’s draft budget for that year, and the actual decrease was 569 thousand people.
On January 1, 2019, amendments to the pension legislation came into force in Russia. In particular, a phased (until 2028) increase in the retirement age for men is planned – from 60 to 65 years, for women – from 55 to 60 years.
Earlier, Associate Professor of the Faculty of Economics at RUDN University Larisa Sorokina said that those who have an insurance record of at least 42 and 37 years.
