Socialism is sooooo great! Let's turn the US into Russia just like the libtards want. ------- Russia Raises Retirement Age Above Life Expectancy For 40% Of MenAn estimated 40% of Russians may never live to retire, after Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev announced that the age to receive a Russian state pension would be raised from 60 to 65 for men by 2028, and from age 55 to 63 by 2034 for women. The draft legislation was discussed in the Russian cabinet on Thursday. There is one problem: a substantial portion of the Russian population will never live that long. Angry Russians are accusing the Kremlin of announcing the changes while the country is distracted hosting the World Cup. Expected to be officially adopted by next year, the new policy would mean the country’s retirement age for men would be only a year lower than the World Health Organisation’s estimated life expectancy for a Russian man of 66. It estimated around 40 per cent of men and 20 per cent of women may not live long enough to claim their pensions under the new rules. - Independent.co.uk The Russian Confederation of Labour (KTR) says that the average life expectancy for men is actually less than 65-years-old in over 60 regions in Russia. “KTR does not support such decisions and declares its intention to launch a broad public campaign against their implementation,” the organization said in a statement. According to the Federal State Statistics Service, in 62 regions of the Russian Federation, the average life expectancy of men is less than 65 years, and in three subjects - less than 60 years. In other words, if demographic trends continue in Russia as a whole, up to 65 years 40% of men and 20% of women will not live to see their retirement. The implementation of the proposal to raise the retirement age will mean that a significant portion of Russian citizens will not survive to retirement. The Kremlin, however, disagrees - with Russia's Federal Statistics Service projecting men's life expectancy to reach 74-years-old by 2037, according to Bloomberg. The unpopular announcement comes as Russia is gripped watching their national team's 5-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the opening game of the World Cup. “Under the noise of the opening of the 2018 World Cup Medvedev announced at a government meeting: the retirement age in Russia should be raised to 65 years for men and up to 63 years for women,” wrote Twitter user Yoshkin Mole.
