Solov'ev A.K. Measures of State Coercion in the Sphere of Social Protection of Citizens: Tax Burden or Efficient Investment

Abstract: The pension system of Russia is a multicomponent dynamically changing economic system. A stable functioning of this system depends on a whole range of factors including demographic and macroeconomic factors, labour, forms (models) of the state provision of pensions (insurance, pension saving, budgetary pension). Efficient functioning of the pension system depends on many factors. Noteworthy that the isolated consideration of the mechanism of influence of, for example, demographic factors on the pension system without considering the influence of other factors, for example, macroeconomic factors, inevitably fixes the fact of financial instability of the Russian pension system in the long-term prospect. In the process of writing this article the following research methods have been used: hermeneutical approach, systems approach, methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparative law method and other methods that are usually used in legal research. According to the author, in order to resolve the basic problems of the pension reform, it is necessary to define the economic and legal status of insurance premiums as a composite (deferred) component of salary. This would allow to answer the perennial question about the economic status of the entire pension system, in particular, the question about the who these contributions belong to. At the same time, it is necessary to clarify particular parameters and standards for defining the price of labor power at the country level.
