Putin noted that the draft law proposes to increase the retirement age for women for eight years to 63 years, while for men it increased by five years.
“That will not do, of course. This is wrong. In our country the treatment of women particular, careful. We understand that they are not only working on the primary place of employment, they, as a rule, the whole house, taking care of family, raising children, care of grandchildren. The retirement age for women should not rise by more than for men. Therefore, I consider it necessary to reduce the proposed bill raising the retirement age for women from eight to five years”, — said the President of the Russian Federation.
