The expert spoke about the impact of work experience on the size of pensions for men and women

Men have a higher pension than women, as their insurance experience is on average almost six years longer. This was announced on April 5 by Alexander Safonov, professor at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.

"Men receive a higher pension than women because of their long insurance record. On average, a man's work experience is about 42 years, and a woman's is 35.9 years," Safonov told TASS.

According to the expert, in 2026, men will retire at 64, and women at 59, while with the same salary, the difference in accumulated pension points can reach about 60-61.
