The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine does not intend to undertake any measures, which would obligate the working pensioners to choose between the pension and the salary, Vice Prime Minister Pavel Rosenko said to NewsOne, the press office of government reports, according to Finance.ua.
“There won’t be any threats to the working pensioners. We will not throw people into dilemma: salary or pension”, he assured.
According to the Vice President, such practice really exists in many developed European countries, but currently it is not acceptable for Ukraine.
“Under the current economic and social conditions it is not acceptable for us. We clearly understand that Ukrainians continue working in retirement not by choice. That is why the state should ensure the right of the person to continue working”, Rosenko noted, adding that currently the number of the working pensioners in Ukraine is 2.5 mln.
