Abstract

In the article conditions and development of Russian pension system in long-term prospect is analyzed. The author reveals the reasons of the Pension fund deficit and argues that tariff policy imbalance is the basic cause, as well as nonparticipation of a considerable part of able-bodied population in payments in the Pension fund, and the fact that a lot of persons receive labour pension ahead of schedule. Possible measures aimed at reaching financial stability of the pension system are offered in the article.
