The Committee of
the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Social Policy, Employment and Pension
Provision approved the Draft Law No. 6614 on the Pension Reform before the
second reading in Parliament.
Five of the seven
members of the Committee voted for the decision. It is based on the
Government's propositions.
Among other
things, this bill envisages the modernization of pensions from October this
year.
The required
minimum seniority age remains unchanged – it is 15 years.
Moreover, at the
proposal of the Ministry of Social Policy, women who were on childcare leave
for six years, will have all these years taken into
account in the seniority age.
Apart from that, a pension scheme for the military is being drafted.
