AN ECONOMETRIC STUDY OF THE FACTORS RAISING THE RETIREMENT AGE
In recent years, we have seen fierce discussions in our country about raising the retirement age. Moreover, proponents of this solution to the problem of financial deficit of the Pension Fund traditionally refer to the fact that in the last decade, we have seen a growth of life expectancy. However, as noted in this article, this demographic indicator neither from the methodological standpoint nor from the practical one can be a parametric description of the current pension system, which is based on market and insurance economic mechanisms. What is significant for the formation of pension rights and for the implementation of state pension liabilities are the death rates by age group, the survival time after the award of pension, the healthy life expectancy. This is one of the conclusions the author came to in the course of an econometric study of the factors raising the retirement age. Below are the results of the analysis of the impact of demographic factors on the retirement age in the Russian Federation, given that the insurance pension system is intact.
