During the last week’s meeting with PO (Civil Platform), Waldemar Pawlak, the leader of PSL party (Party for Socialism and Liberation), proposed that individual pension capital of parents should be increased by 10 percent for every child. The rumour says that Pawlak could agree to retirement age 67 in return, Polish Press Agency reports. PO’s Slawomir Neumann says the issue should be taken into consideration. “This is a concept worth discussing and much better than (the previous PSL postulate of) decreasing the minimum retirement age (for women by 3 years) for every child,” he said. “However, we need detailed calculations.” Pawlak’s concept has been put forward following the French bill that has been already implemented. “We should consider good solutions applied in other European countries when designing our reform,” Krzysztof Kosiński, spokesman for PLS told PAP.
