Turkey retirement reform: Workers await gradual pension system

Millions of workers are awaiting potential legislative developments regarding a gradual retirement system. This proposed system aims to address disparities between those who benefited from the EYT (Age Reform Regulation) and those who entered the workforce after September 8, 1999.

Unlike the current system, a gradual retirement model would determine retirement eligibility based on specific criteria such as insurance start date, total premium days, and length of service, rather than a single age and premium requirement. While no official legal regulation has been finalized, the issue remains a significant topic of interest for employees seeking to reduce the gap in retirement conditions compared to previous cohorts.
