PSD Pledges To Triple Pensions As Of 2021, Economists Say It’s Impossible
The net pension will reach RON4,256 in 2021, from RON1,500 in 2016, said social democrat leader Liviu Dragnea, who announced an accentuated acceleration of growth envisaged in the governing program.
Economists, in turn, said that no matter how tempting that may sound, it cannot be sustained financially.
The new pension law, which should have been made public already, as pledged by Labor Minister Olguta Vasilescu, will go under debate only in August and targets, among others, to nearly triple pensions in 2016. (adevarul.ro)
Constitutional Court: Women Can Choose To Retire At Age 63 Or 65
Women have the right to choose whether to retire at the age of 63 or at 65, according to a decision adopted by Romania’s Constitutional Court, which became mandatory as of Tuesday.
At the age of 63, women should be able to choose whether they want to continue to work until the age of 65, which is the retirement age for men, according to a recent decision of Romania’s Constitutional Court published in the Official Gazette, according to avocatnet.ro.
The cessation of work by default at the age of 63 would also translate into discrimination and an enclosure of women’s right to work. If a female employee chooses to continue to work until the age of 65, she will be able to do that based on her existing labor contract, regardless of employer’s will. (puterea.ro)
