The bill on the budget of the Pension Fund involves, in 2021, the increase of pensions to pensioners by 6.3%. However, the opportunity to continue to work after retirement the Russians
expect more than government payments.

active citizens from all districts of the country.

27% of respondents as the main source of income in retirement indicated job or jobs. Every fourth Russian considers that the main source of funds is the state
pension (25%). 12% of respondents rely on personal savings, and 2% for financial assistance to the children. Another 3% of respondents as the main source of income in retirement indicated that the funds invested in
non-state pension funds.

Respondents older than 45 years more often rely on the state pension (32%). Naturally, the higher the income, the more often the Russians expect in old age to live on personal savings:
9% of respondents with a salary of 30 thousand rubles. and 20% for citizens with income of 80 thousand rubles. per month.

In comparison with similar studies of previous years, the state pension counts the maximum number of respondents (25%), and personal savings — the minimum (12%). For
comparison, 7% and 33% respectively in 2009.

grow with increasing age of respondents: 34100 RUB in young people up to 24 years 41800 RUB the respondents older than 45 years. A similar trend is observed with increasing income level of respondents: 33200
RUB the Russians with a salary of 30 thousand rubles and RUB 45300 citizens earning between 80 thousand rubles.
