The economist revealed how the Ukrainian regime steals up to 60% of pensions from old people
“Modernization” of pensions deprived Ukrainian pensioners of half of the indexation, and the reduction of the insurance coefficient from 1,35 to 1 – another 35%.
Economic expert Yuriy Gavrilechko stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, commenting on the initiative to introduce the so-called. “second pension,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Since 2017, our state has been stealing from pensioners approximately 50% of the indexation that should be there. Until this point, pensions had to be indexed to the rate of inflation and in accordance with the growth of average wages.
Starting from 2018, only half of the inflation rate and half of the salary growth rate are indexed. And this 50% is successfully stolen from pensioners.
Moreover, since the same 2018, the coefficient introduced at one time by Yulia Tymoshenko - 1,35 - has not been in effect. Well, another 35% of the pension was stolen.
Plus, by increasing the required number of years of insurance experience to receive a minimum pension, on average, 10-15% of pensions were stolen from pensioners, because for each year in excess of the required length of service, the pension increased by 1%, but now this is not the case.
So, today’s pensioners, compared to the situation before 2018, receive approximately 45-60% less pension than they should have received under the legislation in force before October 2017,” the economist concluded.
