lower retirement age – a dispute in the government

As we reported a few days ago, the enemy simply return the retirement age of 67 years currently to 60 for women and 65 for men was finance minister Paul Szałamacha. MF wanted to lower the retirement age was associated with the requirement of appropriate seniority – 35 years for women and 40 for men.

“the suggestion addiction retirement age of internship was in explicit correspondence addressed to the minister of family, work and social policy of Elizabeth Rafalski,” – said on Tuesday in “Signals on” Paul Szałamacha. He explained that the introduction of such a mechanism in order to “employees to accumulate pension capital, which will be the basis for their retirement.”

From the reports “Gazeta Wyborcza” shows that the finance minister was not in this case alone. The position of the Ministry of Finance supported the Deputy Prime Minister and Development Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Minister of Science and Higher Education Jaroslaw Gowin.

On addition, the assumptions for the budget for 2017. finance Minister Paul Szałamacha upheld a lower retirement age linked to seniority. The choice of such a solution would allow for the maintenance of the public finance deficit below 3 per cent., Assuming fulfillment of the announcement of wage increases in the public sector.

Since the lower the retirement age?

Premier Beata Szydlo, as a head of government, very carefully choosing her word on the timing of realization of the promise of the retirement age. The only assurance related to the date of the enactment of new legislation. “The law will be adopted by the end of the year” – told at press conferences.

Henry Kowalczyk, chairman of the Standing Committee Council of Ministers, said on Tuesday in the “Policy over coffee” in TVP1, that the introduction of a lower retirement age will still require work in parliament and many months of preparations in ZUS. “1 January 2017 was technically impossible” – he said.

Most likely lower retirement age will apply so in January 2018, although members of the government do not exclude the earlier date.
