In almost every text, this is illustrated using men as the example.
Every expert talks about men's life expectancy, about how much money a man will lose because of the higher retirement age, about how hard early deaths and workplace injuries hit men.
Even in our videos—mine and Vladimir Milov's—we mostly discuss the retirement age using figures that apply to men.
So people end up thinking: raising the retirement age doesn't affect women—they live a long time.
But the truth is that if we consider raising the retirement age a crime and a robbery—and that is the right way to see it—then women have been robbed more than anyone else.
Women in Russia are the main victims of this so-called “pension reform.”
Those TV lines about energetic people working at 60 are, above all, a mockery of women, for whom finding a job after 50 is SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE.
Kira Yarmysh decided to talk about this and much more in her new video, adding to our information campaign against the government's actions.
Watch it and share it.
