Citizens were granted the right to decide where to keep their savings. People who have savings accounts in pension funds, are beginning to retire. Many wonder how to get the funded part of pension? It is expected that in 2012 it can be given to those who transferred the money to the pension funds, which are owned by private individuals. However, in the next year provided for the payment of the cumulative part of pensions from the well-known government pension Fund. Currently, the press actively there is a discussion about increasing the period of retirement. The fact that the pension system is still PAYG, only slightly modernized. Our country is now 75 million rabotayushih 88 million pensioners. The expected deterioration. The proportion of disabled people equal to about one-fifth of the total population, by 2020 it will be equal to 25%, and by 2030, 30%.

Even in 2011, the PFR expenditure exceeded revenue by one trillion rubles, and this year (2012), the excess will amount to 1.75 trillion rubles. This position could be called catastrophe, if not sky-high oil prices. Some senior officials believe that an earlier retirement would help solve the problem. But according to the generally accepted estimates of the cost savings of PFR from this increase will be 80 – 90 billion rubles, which is comparable with the deficit.

We could go the way of the payment of insurance and basic pensions only to pensioners. Due to the low standard of living many millions of pensioners are working in the workplace, therefore, would receive lower pensions. However, the government is unlikely to be solved by this reduction, as the pensions and wages barely allow pensioners to approach the income of the middle class.

Many economists believe that we need to change the sources of the FIU, remitting back rental payments, and to strengthen control over the actual use of the funds to prevent their misappropriation. But the main resource of revenues of the pension Fund is the organization of new industries and attracting young people to be active.
