This is stated in the bill №5566… “There are now many countries where the legal age for retirement is at least 65 years old. That was different a few years ago. Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and the UK are examples. the age is gradually increased to 67 years, “the document says.

Previously OBOZREVATEL in detail analyzed the bill. So, starting from January 1, 2023, the age that gives the right to the appointment of an old-age pension will increase by one month annually. This growth will continue until January 1, 2035. As a result, this increase will raise the retirement age in Ukraine until 2035 by one year and will be 61 years.
