She was only at work one day. The amount of her pension is mind-boggling

Currently, it is said that about half a million retirees receive a pension at the minimum level. The group of seniors who receive a benefit at a much lower level is also still growing. A resident of Legnica has worked only one day in her life. The amount of her pension is shocking.

Current minimum the amount of the pension paid by ZUS is PLN 1,780.96 gross. To get this much, you need to have a minimum length of service, which is currently 20 years for women and 25 years for men. In this situation, you will be entitled to a pension in the minimum amount. The age at which you can retire has also been precisely calculated and is 60 for women and 65 for men.

She only worked one day. Her pension is shocking

Most people receive a minimum amount of benefits from ZUS after retiring. Unfortunately, there is a large group of seniors in Poland who receive a monthly amount much lower than the minimum. In most cases, this is due to their length of service, which is not impressive. A certain resident of Legnica knows something about this. As reported by the Goniec.pl website, the woman has worked only one day in her life. Her monthly pension is only 43 groszy. It is impossible to survive for a month on this amount.

Talks are underway on raising the retirement age in Poland

There have been heated discussions about raising the retirement age for some time now. Everything indicates that it will happen. According to economists, such a change will allow for the development of better stability of the insurance system.which seems to be a necessity in Poland. Such a change, however, will certainly not be liked by the majority of our society.

If in Poland – and there are no other forecasts – the group of people receiving pension benefits grows in relation to the group of people who will work, we will have a problem with generating funds

– said economist Marek Zuber in an interview with Goniec.
