Abstract

The first steps to reform Kazakhstan’s pension system were actually taken before the USSR’s collapse. Following discussion in the late 1980s, the Soviet government enacted new pension legislation in 1990 in order to establish the USSR Pension Fund and its republican branches.1 The USSR Pension Fund was funded by contributions from enterprises and organizations and was established as an independent “financial-banking system:’ The separation of the pension system from the state budget that the act represented was a step toward more explicit recognition of pension liabilities of the state. While the 1990 legislation can be seen as an initial step toward a funded system, the USSR Pension Fund continued to operate on PAYGO principles.
