The Decisive Factor for Retirement: Why Experience and Salary Are No Longer Primary.

Ukrainian pensioners feel disappointed as people with different work experiences and conditions can receive the same pensions. Expert and journalist Serhiy Korobkin examined this 'pension paradox', answering a viewer's question about the unfairness in the system.

This video was inspired by a viewer named Hanna, - emphasized Korobkin. She asked how it is possible that the pension of a cleaner with a reduced workday can be higher than that of a pensioner with 40 years of experience in heavy manufacturing.

The expert explained that one of the key factors affecting the size of the pension is the retirement date. The later a person retires, the higher the average salary figure applied, which can lead to significant differences in the sizes of pension payments. A comparative calculation of pensions for a metallurgist and a cleaner confirms these shortcomings, revealing the significant role of the retirement date in shaping pension income. Ukrainian pensioners note inequalities in the system and the importance of this aspect in determining the size of pension payments.
