Maxim Topilin: 20 percent of Russians may be left without pensions – Russian newspaper

20 percent of Russians may be left without pensions, as for them, no one pays premiums to the Pension Fund. In addition, citizens working “rough”, without official registration, it will be problematic to get a loan and some social services. In an interview with “RG” said Minister of Labour and Social Protection of Russia Maxim Topilin.

Among the clients of employment services many “professional” unemployed?

Maxim Topilin: More than a year can not find work about 12 percent of officially registered unemployed, and suggest that about half of them – the so-called “professional unemployed”.

I’m not sure that these people are not have additional income. Unfortunately, there are many schemes illegal work. And now the government’s actions aimed at the legalization of employment.

This pension reform that increases the insurance period, entitlement to pension insurance is limited by the number of pension coefficients or points. If the score is less than 30 – and it is working for 30 years at a salary of one minimum wage (SMIC at equal the cost of living), log in will not be.

We have done a great job of explaining the essence of the pension reform. Do it together with the trade unions, met with teams. We hope that the response will be.

How many people do you think are working illegally?

Maxim Topilin: About 20 percent of the population of working age, we do not see on the databases of the Pension Fund. We assume that most of these works, but for them to pay the premiums. This means that in the future they will not have insurance pensions. In addition, if the employer pays for all workers – at current retirees would be higher pension.

And you do not take into account that some of these “invisible” – housewives?

Maxim Topilin: Yes. But it is clear that these women are not 15 million. Regions with us argue, trying to convince us that we have the wrong data. But when we begin to understand – clutching his head. While they matter simply not engaged. We hope this year they will plunge into this subject.

Try to Germany, for example, to work “rough” – the neighbors immediately inform the appropriate authorities. They simply believe that if you do not pay taxes, so do not qualify for any benefits. Take the example of our country. There are queues in kindergarten. The parents of one child officially work and pay taxes, the second – no. Question: they should have equal rights to the device in kindergarten?
