The Eurasian pension as a new form of socio-economic integration between Kazakhstan and Russia within the framework of the EAEU

With the increase in cross-border labor mobility in the post-Soviet space, the issue of
regulating the pension rights of citizens working outside their home countries is becoming
increasingly relevant. This study focuses on analyzing the economic and legal transformations in the
field of pension provision resulting from the entry into force of the Agreement on Pension Provision
for Working Citizens of Member States of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). This international
legal act is aimed at unifying and harmonizing the standards for the formation of pension rights of
citizens working in the partner states of the integration association.
The purpose of the work is to draw conclusions about the need to deepen international
coordination in the field of pension provision as a key factor in the social integration and sustainable
development of the Eurasian Economic Space.
The study used general scientific and special methods, comparative economic and systemic
analyses of the pension systems of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation.
The work examines the mechanisms of proportional financial accounting for labor (insurance)
experience and pension contributions. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of key pension
models – solidarity (distributive/labor) and accumulation, each of which reflects the specifics of the
socio-economic reforms of the respective countries. The author introduces the concept of “Eurasian
pension” into scientific discourse, understood as the totality of pension payments formed from the
funds of two or more EAEU states, depending on the length of service and pension savings
accumulated in the territories of various countries of the union. Based on the analysis,
recommendations are formulated for improving the mechanisms of interaction between national
pension systems, aimed at strengthening social justice and ensuring long-term stability within the
framework of Eurasian integration.
