About 26% of economically active citizens consider the salary from permanent employment or part-time work as the main source of income in old age. Exactly the same proportion of respondents considered mainly state pension payments, following the results of the SuperJob survey. 15% of the participants in the study plan to live exclusively on personal savings, while only 1% of the respondents hope for financial support for their children. Strategies vary considerably depending on gender, age and current income. Women are more likely than men to declare their willingness to continue working (29% vs. 23%), and young people under the age of 35 are more likely to generate savings themselves. Russians with a salary of up to 100,000 rubles rely mainly on state social guarantees, while citizens with a monthly income of 100 to 150,000 rubles a third of the cases intend to stay in the labor market. Despite the fact that during the last year the share of those who want to pay a budget increased slightly, the financial expectations of the population are still disconnected from reality. According to the respondents' calculations, the size of a decent pension today should reach 56.6 thousand rubles per month. However, the average old-age insurance payment in the country, according to the Social Fund of Russia, is only 25.5 thousand rubles.
