CONSIDERAȚII CU PRIVIRE LA EGALIZAREA VÂRSTEI DE PENSIONARE PENTRU BĂRBATI SI FEMEI LA 65 DE ANI
CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE EQUALIZATION OF THE RETIREMENT AGE FOR MEN AND WOMEN AT 65 YEARS

Summary/Abstract: n Romania the standard retirement age for women will increase from 63 years, as it is now, at the age of 65, according to the intention of amending Law no. 263/2010 on the unitary pension system. Such an extent, consequence ofthe recommendation of the European Commission is considered to be able to provide adequate and sustainable pensions in the long term through active participation in the labor market of women and men throughout life. The entry into force of these provisions will gradually equalize the retirement age for women and men at 65, beginning with 2033, these provisions will be applicable to women born in the years 1969 and 1979, who will retire at the age 64, and since 2035 for women born in 1971, who will retire at age 65. Such a perspective naturally raises the question whether it is right for women to retire at the same age as men. Arguments in favor of or against such a solution should be analyzed not only in terms of economic or legal but also socially, which is what this study aims.
