Currently, the retirement age for men in Tajikistan is 63 years, for women at 58 years. Pension payments are calculated for 180 months (15 years), which corresponds to the average life expectancy in the country. Insurance and State pensions are appointed according to age, disability and loss of a breadwinner. The insurance pension consists of pension contributions paid by insurers for insured persons (25% of the salary of employees of state institutions and 20% of employees of non-state institutions). Also, a pension is assigned to children under 18 who have lost their father or mother.

The purpose of the visit of the Tajik delegation is to get acquainted with the pension system of Kazakhstan, with a special focus on its accumulative components, as well as the advanced experience of our country in the field of digitalization of pension and social security systems.

The Tajik delegation was presented with comprehensive information about the system of social and pension provision in Kazakhstan in general and the accumulative component in particular. Such topics as the development of the culture of pension planning, administration of individual pension accounts, types of pension payments, open issues of investment of pension savings were presented.At the same time, special attention was paid to the role of digitalization in the implementation of these directions, ensuring cyber-security, development of online services provided by ENPF and other participants of the savings system of Kazakhstan (authorized operators, life insurance companies, investment portfolio managers, etc.). Thanks to the development of modern technologies and close integration with the databases of state structures, in compliance with all measures of information security, today almost all services provided to the population of the NPPF are digitized. Digitization makes the pension and social system of Kazakhstan more transparent, convenient and flexible, and also provides a high level of user experience for all categories of citizens. These are notable specialists of social organizations in Tajikistan, as well as representatives of the World Bank.
