Ingrid Korosec, president of the Austrian Seniors’ Association, has indicated openness to discussing an increase in the retirement age. However, she proposes that years worked, rather than birthdate, should be the determining factor for pension eligibility. This suggests a shift towards a system based on contributions and career length. Korosec also called for further steps regarding healthcare reform within Austria. The proposal aims to address demographic changes and the sustainability of the pension system. This stance positions Korosec as pragmatic in addressing evolving societal needs and financial realities. The debate is likely to be complex, balancing the needs of workers and the financial stability of the country.
