Аннотация:: The population aging processes cause a reduction in the share of the employable population, which negatively influences the socialinfrastructure, financial support of pension systems, etc. All of the above forces the state to look for a way out of this situation. At the same time, the issue ofraising the retirement age is painful for the population of any country, because it implies a change in the previously adopted social contract between thestate and its citizens regarding the time of the beginning of the "well-deserved rest". Indeed, the creation of pension systems and the establishment of theretirement age for the old age pension mean the emergence of a legal boundary for old age, marking the moment when an individual turns from a payer ofpension contributions to a recipient of pension payments.
