The retirement age may change – LO comes with new demand
Published
The retirement age in Sweden may be changed. The trade union confederation LO has now put forward a new demand on how the pension system should work. The article in Metro Mode briefly describes the demand, but it does not cover all the details of what LO wants to change.
According to the Swedish Pensions Agency, people can draw income pension and premium pension at the earliest three years before their reference retirement age. The reference retirement age is the age the pension system uses as a starting point when calculating the pension. This means that a person can start receiving money from their pension earlier than the age stated in the system, but the pension is often lower each month as a result.
The question of the retirement age is important for many people in Sweden. It affects when a person can stop working and how much money they receive when they are retired. Therefore, many people follow the pension debate with great interest.
It is still unclear whether LO's demand will lead to any changes in the law. Politicians and other organisations have not yet commented on the proposal in the information that is currently available. Readers who want to know more can follow the news from the Swedish Pensions Agency and from the government.
