Russians warned of approaching social revolution

In the year 2000, when Vladimir Putin came to power, among the goals he designated then was the transformation of Russia into a social state. By definition, a state is social policy which aims to redistribute material wealth in accordance with the principle of social justice for the sake of achieving a decent standard of living for every citizen, smoothing out social differences and helping those in need.





Indeed, certain successes were achieved, for example, the number of dollar billionaires in Russia reached 2018 by 106, having increased, despite Western sanctions, by 29 people over the past two years. However, the government still has work to do. According to official statistics, the country has about 20 million citizens who can be attributed to the poor. That is, it is 13% of the population. However, there are other methods of calculation, in addition to the "Rosstat". Given the application of the deprivation method of counting, it turns out that the poor in Russia are 36 million people, i.e. one fourth of the population of the "rising from its knees" power.

If we turn to the May Decree of Vladimir Putin, it becomes clear that for the fourth time the elected president is ready to continue to build a social state in Russia. However, the ways in which the government appointed by him is ready to fight for the social well-being of Russians raise a lot of questions.

If you believe Dmitry Medvedev, people in Russia began to live longer and more fun than in the 30s of the twentieth century, and therefore it's time to increase the retirement age, men, most likely, up to 65, women - up to 63 years. True, evil tongues argue that the problem is in the pension system itself, which is simply unable to pay pensions to an aging population while reducing the working population. What is the responsibility of the executive branch itself in the formation of this pension system and such working conditions in the country so far remains outside the brackets. The fact is that since 2013, pension accumulations of citizens have been frozen by the state every year. The government is actively trying to promote innovations in the form of a self-employed tax, as well as a voluntary-compulsory system of individual pension capital.

So far, the fate of early pensions for a number of state employees, in particular, for law enforcement officers, remains suspended. Vice Prime Minister Golikova believes that, until recently, an actively promoted ball system and a return to classical pension insurance are needed:



Also, the government, pursuant to the presidential decree, should turn its eyes to the health system. He was ordered to reduce the shortage of personnel in polyclinics and other medical institutions, which she himself arranged for massive layoffs. It is hoped that Dmitry Medvedev’s office will not solve the problem of a shortage of personnel in medical institutions at the root by eliminating some of these institutions.

Raising the retirement age will add a lot of problems to the Russian labor market. Obvious employment problems are experienced by Russian citizens over 50 and under 25 years old. As of April 2018, almost 10% of Russians surveyed considered themselves completely unemployed.

It should be remembered that social benefits, high salaries, benefits and pensions are the result of development economics state. That is why the government should focus on creating a diversified and competitive economy, however, the reappointment of the head of the cabinet of ministers, Dmitry Medvedev, which causes a mixed opinion among some Russians, and the recipes offered by him question the possibility of achieving this goal.
