With the regulation for those affected by retirement age, millions of people are realizing their dream of retirement, while a new ray of hope is emerging for those who entered the insurance system after September 8, 1999. Details about the gradual retirement system are becoming clearer with the statements of the Minister of Labor and Social Security, Vedat Işıkhan. This new system is expected to significantly alleviate the difficulties faced in retirement. SO WHAT IS THIS GRADUAL RETIREMENT?The gradual retirement system stands out as a model aimed at making retirement age and premium day conditions more flexible. This system, which particularly covers employees who entered the insurance system after September 8, 1999, offers a significant opportunity for those who missed the EYT chance. With this regulation, employees will be able to retire earlier according to their individual circumstances. The goal is to provide more flexible solutions for those who have suffered due to the high age and premium day conditions in the current retirement system. HOW WILL THE SYSTEM WORK?The gradual retirement model foresees bringing the age and premium day conditions into a specific range. According to the initial drafts: employees aged between 45 and 52 will be able to retire if they complete the specified premium day conditions. Additionally, an option for extra premium payments will be offered for those who wish to retire early. This way, both the retirement age will be brought forward, and those who pay premiums will be able to increase their salaries. This system aims to provide employees with the opportunity to shape their retirement processes according to their preferences, offering a more flexible structure. MINISTER IŞIKHAN'S "BALANCE" MESSAGEMinister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan emphasized the sustainability of the SGK system in his statements. The Minister stated that efforts are being made meticulously to ensure that pension payments to retirees are not interrupted and to improve health services. Işıkhan's statements reveal that the gradual retirement regulation considers not only the employees but also the overall balance of the retirement system. The gradual retirement system could be a significant opportunity for those insured after 2000. However, it is still unclear when this regulation will be implemented and how its details will be shaped.
