Abstract
The present paper defines that the changes made to the pension legislation in the process of the ongoing pension reform have seriously modernized the mechanism for the formation of pension rights of persons insured in the compulsory pension insurance system, and have tightened the conditions for assigning old-age pensions. The analysis made it possible to identify the features of the formation of pension rights in terms of insurance and funded pensions for various categories of insured persons. Assessment of the pension rights for 2017 of 27,015 thousand employees of medium and large organizations and individual entrepreneurs insured in the compulsory pension insurance system (CPS), made it possible to conclude that under the current rules for the formation of pension rights to persons insured in the compulsory pension insurance system, in the conditions of the economic crisis prevailing in the Russian Federation, after the end of the transition period in 2024, a significant category of employees will need more than 15 years of insurance experience to be eligible to assign an old-age insurance pension. Starting from 2024, the number of people who have not received the right to an old-age insurance pension and who can expect to receive a social old-age pension only after five years will significantly increase among those who have reached retirement age. Among those retiring, the number of persons who have formed the minimum retirement points will increase; accordingly, in the future, the number of pensioners receiving the minimum pension, the size of which is lower than the pensioner's subsistence minimum, will increase. The authors concluded that to improve the situation with the formation of pension rights, first of all, it is necessary to stabilize the economic situation in the country, to ensure the development of the economy, to increase the income of the insured in the compulsory pension insurance system. In addition, it is necessary to activate the state policy in the field of legalization of labor relations, make changes to the mechanism for the formation of pension rights, linking this mechanism with the real contribution of the employee throughout his labor activity, thereby increasing his interest in the formation of pensions, and for categories of employees with traditional low incomes and those employed in socially significant spheres of activity (for example, education, health care, science) to make the transition to the state pension system.
