However, their pensions are below the average. This was told on Wednesday evening, December 13, in the air of one of the Ukrainian TV channels, Minister of Social Policy Andrei Reva.
He also explained that the average pension today is 2448 UAH. However, today less than this amount, with full insurance experience, receive 2.5 million women and half a million men.
However, in men, it turns out, after all, the pension is higher. By the way, too, injustice. Men tend to have better earnings and, accordingly, have better pensions, the minister said, adding that this government is going to correct this injustice.
Recall, earlier Reva said that during the implementation of the pension reform, there was one drawback - the common charging rules. In connection with this, some people received low premiums for pensions only because in the days of the USSR they received too low salaries. The government is going to take this into account during the next stage of the reform.
As reported URA-Inform, Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman said during the meeting that from January 1, 2018, servicemen will raise pensions.
