Abstract

The article is devoted to the gender aspect of pension reform in the Russian Federation. The unfairness of men's later retirement compared to women is reinforced by the significantly lower average life expectancy of Russian men compared to women. At the same time, in recent decades, world experience has shown a tendency to equalize the retirement age for men and women. In Russia, the legislator did not even take into account the sharply negative public opinion on the issue of raising the retirement age, the low average life expectancy in Russia compared to developed countries, according to the experience of which in 2018 the decision was made to gradually increase the age to 65 for men and 60 for women for retirement. The author provides statistics on the average life expectancy in Russia, including men in various regions of the Russian Federation, examines the history of the problem, provides world practice in the issue of pension reform in recent decades, and analyzes the legal positions of the Сonstitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the possible violation of gender equality when men retire 5 years later than women and international law.
