STATE REGULATION ISSUES OF PENSION SYSTEM IN RUSSIA

Abstract

The article reveals the essence of state regulation of the pension system of the Russian Federation. It justifies the need for the state to pursue a social policy as the implementation of a function to combat social risks in modern society, in particular with the risk of old age. In the course of the study, key features and methods of state influence on pension legal relationships at each of the three levels of the Russian pension system were identified, and problems in the implementation of its state regulation, which includes the formation of a legislative base, control and supervision and distribution functions, were shown. The difficulty lies in the fact that state regulation of the pension system is carried out in conditions of limited financial resources, which leads to halfness of the decisions, adoption of populist measures and contradictions between current and long-term tasks. However, there is no alternative to state regulation, since only state regulation is able to balance the interests of all participants in the pension system.
