LEGAL POLICY OF THE EAEU MEMBER STATES IN THE FIELD OF IMPLEMENTATION OF PENSION RIGHTS

The article discusses issues of legal policy of the EAEU member states in the field of implementation of pension rights of citizens using the comparative method. Based on the legislative practices of states, the author examines the models of state pension systems and highlights their specifics and common, advantageous features. In the process of the study, the essence and direction of reforms of state pension systems were established, aimed at solving a number of problems in reducing social tensions, with the gradual release of the budget from the burden of pension payments, reducing the unemployment rate, which helps to increase the interest of citizens in pension savings and stimulate the personal responsibility of citizens for pension provision for a decent standard of living when acquiring pension rights. It is noted that one of the fundamental principles and norms of international law in the system of protection of social and labor human rights is the right to pension provision, guaranteed by the constitutions of the EAEU member states and their obligations to fulfill the ILO minimum social standards to provide citizens with at least 40% of the level of pensions in relation to average salary. At the same time, states should direct efforts to implement policies to ensure employment, protection against unemployment and the development of non-state investment institutions in the field of pensions.
