Switzerland: SVP proposes pension reforms and Caritas reports rising working poverty
The Swiss People's Party (SVP) has introduced a series of proposals for the 2030 AHV pension system reform. Key measures include increasing the minimum contribution period for pension eligibility from one year to five years of employment within Switzerland. The party also proposes that pensions paid to individuals living abroad be adjusted to reflect the local cost of living in their country of residence.
Additionally, the SVP suggests higher social security contributions for immigrants who settle in Switzerland later in life. Specifically, the proposal outlines incremental percentage increases for those arriving between ages 31 and 50.
Separately, Caritas Switzerland has reported that approximately 360,000 workers, representing 8.8% of the workforce, struggle to cover basic family expenses. When including dependents, the number of affected individuals rises to over 820,000, marking the highest level recorded since 2014.
