Politicians and financial experts are likely to be left scratching their heads after Sunday’s vote on pension reform, as the polls are showing a clear rejection of the plan.
The government is worried about the sustainability of the occupational pension, known as the second pillar.

In addition, low earners, tend to get a very low pension. This disproportionality affects women.
The reform would mean low earners will get a higher pension, but those paying into the system – both individuals and companies – will have to pay more.
Experts say something needs to be done – but after Sunday, it’ll be back to the drawing board.
