Decision on raising retirement age gains legal force in Belarus

17 апреля 2016

The President signed a decree "On improvement of pension coverage."

The age limit for well-deserved rest for men and women was increased by three years. The planned increase in the retirement age will fully gain force in 2023. Women will retire at 58, and men at 63.

The changes will affect even the privileged pensions, for example, the military, security forces or those working in hazardous occupations. Their retirement age was raised by 3 years as well.
