The retirement age and the required length of service increased from January 1.

Women will now be entitled to a pension at the age of 62 years and 2 months. They must have an insurance length of service of 36 years and 6 months. Men are entitled to a pension at the age of 64 years and 7 months, and must have an insurance service of 39 years and 6 months.

Both indicators will grow until the required length of service reaches 37 years for women and 40 years for men, and the retirement age reaches 65 years for both genders.
