When do women up to 65 also have to work?
The Council of States decided by 30 votes to 12 to increase the retirement age of women to 65 years. It is planned to increase in four steps for three months each. The first occurs one year after the entry into force of the reform. The proposal now goes to the National Council, after which the differences between the two councils must be resolved. Parliamentary deliberations should last about a year. Since there will be a referendum later, the proposal will take effect in 2023 at the earliest if the people vote in favor, but not until 2024 at the earliest. Therefore, the first step of increase will take place in 2024 or 2025. Retirement age 65 for women would apply from 2027 or 2028. AHV saves with the highest retirement age of women 1.4 billion francs per anus. However, due to compensatory measures for transition generation, it will be several years before the full savings effect occurs.
