Social Security reforms return to Parliament
The proposed amendments to the Social Security Law for 2026 focus on restructuring the conditions for early and mandatory retirement, incorporating a lengthy transition period starting from 2030. The adjustments include increasing the required number of contributions for mandatory retirement from 180 to 240, and for early retirement from 180 to 360 contributions. The retirement age is set at 65 for men and 60 for women, with a special provision allowing workers in hazardous professions to retire at age 50 with 300 contributions. The project also proposes raising the minimum pension to 200 dinars and expanding the social security coverage to include new employee categories. Additionally, it involves restructuring the Social Security Corporation to enhance its independence and governance, including appointing a governor for the institution by a decision from the Cabinet. The discussion on the project was previously postponed due to comments and objections, and it is expected to undergo broad debates in the upcoming session regarding retirement conditions and transitional provisions, with the possibility of amending the most controversial articles before its final approval.
