Christian Democrats want early retirement for women with children

The Christian Democratic Party –one of the three parties in government- is resolutely opposed to the abolition of early retirement of women dependent on the number of children raised, party deputy Tomas Kvapil told journalists. Under a reform bill drafted by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs the retirement age for both men and women would in future be 65. The Christian Democrats say the possibility of early retirement for women with children should be preserved as one of the government’s pro-family measures.
