Abstract

The study’s objective is to develop a methodology for studying the conceptual foundations of pension legislation in three countries: the United Kingdom, France, and Russia. The following methods were used to perform the tasks set out in the introduction: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, systematic, sociological, statistical, formal-legal, comparative-legal, historical, and legal methods. The result of this work was the author’s methodology for studying the conceptual foundations of pension legislation. This methodology includes the following elements: definition and justification of the subject of research, establishing its spatial and temporal framework, development and justification of the author’s periodization of the conceptual foundations of pension legislation. In addition, as part of this study, the need to apply the conceptual foundations of pension legislation such methods of knowledge as dialectical approach, general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, systematic), private scientific methods (sociological, statistical, mathematical), and private legal methods (formal-legal, comparative-legal, historical and legal) is justified. The choice of three specific countries is since they represent different models of pension provision and different legal families. The study proves the special methodological significance of considering pension as a combination of two interrelated elements: pension insurance and budget support. The study’s novelty is due to the problem statement (the conceptual foundations of the pension legislation of the United Kingdom, France, and Russia are the first to appear as the subject of the study), as well as the interdisciplinary nature of the proposed approaches. The developed methodology can be used to study pension and other social security legislation and be extended to other countries as objects of study.

Introduction

This article presents the author’s approaches to developing a methodology for the study of the conceptual foundations of pension legislation. The main background of the study is the need to form new conceptual approaches to the development of pension legislation due to the crisis of pension provision systems observed in recent decades in our country and abroad. The causes of this crisis include economic [1, 2], demographic [3], ideological and socio-psychological [4, 5]. - universal (dialectical or metaphysical); - general scientific; - private-scientific (used by individual, non-legal sciences); - private-legal (special-legal); 2) development of the author’s methodology for studying the conceptual foundations of the pension legislation of the United Kingdom (UK), France, and Russia, including justification of the subject, theoretical and empirical base of research, justification of the choice of three countries for the purposes of the study, development of the author’s periodization of the development of the conceptual foundations of pension legislation
