The Pension Future Forum’s Position on the Recent Discussion of the Basic Pension Overhaul (1)

Recently, discussions to adjust the Basic Pension’s eligible recipients and payment amounts have been taking place actively, centered on the government and the ruling party.

The Pension Future Forum

has long argued that the Basic Pension system should be overhauled in a direction that gradually reduces the number of recipients while paying more to vulnerable groups, since a long time ago!

Recently, in connection with the Basic Pension overhaul, bylined columns by experts or media interviews have been increasing.

What must not be forgotten here is

The majority of those who call themselves experts were — as the current Basic Pension system was created and has been operated —

in that process, in fact its biggest supporters!

But now,

these same voices sound different —

that is, compared to when the Basic Pension was first introduced,

the majority of those who call themselves pension experts are now saying exactly the opposite, and

starting with their own past conduct, ought to make a confession!
