In 2026, some Russians will have the right to retire at age 50.
The right to early retirement applies to multi-child mothers who raised five or more children to age eight.
For multi-child mothers, the conditions include a minimum 15-year insurance record and 30 pension points.
Women who raised a child with a disability from childhood to age eight also qualify for early retirement.
Workers in hazardous or heavy labor conditions may retire early, with different rules for men and women.
The age of youth in Russia is being discussed for expansion to 40 years.
The discussion on expanding youth age is based on increased life expectancy and longer workforce longevity.
The average life expectancy in Russia is expected to reach 78 years by 2030 and 81 years by 2036.
People over 65 make up about a quarter of Russia's population.
There is a demographic trend toward aging population and shrinking working-age population.
