The retirement age in Russia is 55 for women and 60 for men. After this date, social payments from the state begin, and the person may not work. At the same time, he has the opportunity to spend his time in any way possible, but in Russia the options for employment of elderly citizens are a little limited.
Instructions
Step 1
Many pensioners in Russia earn extra money. This is due to two things: the pension is not too high and there is not enough money, and the lack of leisure time for old age, the need to do something, to feel in demand. Someone remains in their position and simply refuses to immediately go on a well-deserved rest, someone is looking for a part-time job. There are many pensioners in the field of trade, cleaning of premises, security.
Step 2
The average pension in 2013 in Russia was about 9,000 rubles. The minimum amount is 5600 rubles. Today, all people over 60 receive this benefit, but the pension reform is carried out in such a way that in twenty years payments will be made only to those who have worked a certain minimum of years for the benefit of the state.
Step 3
A pensioner usually spends his money on different needs. But there are 3 things that take away the maximum: housing and communal services (from 15 to 30% of the pension), food and medicine. Most elderly people in our country cannot afford travel and entertainment. This is connected both with money and with health, because the older a person is, the more diseases he has.
Step 4
There is very little entertainment for retirees in Russia. There are almost no interest clubs, gathering places. Each person tries to organize his own leisure time. Sometimes retirees gather in groups and spend time, often they can be found on benches at the entrances, in parks, playing chess or talking.
Step 5
Retirees pay a lot of attention to television. It's no secret that many TV shows are designed specifically for old age. There are especially many of them during the daytime through various channels. Empathy for the lives of others is a common pastime in old age.
Step 6
Today there are nursing homes in Russia. These are institutions where many retirees live. All of these places cannot be called comfortable and cozy, but people who need medical care often get there. Regular meals, communication and all procedures are performed on schedule.
