Uzbekistan Introduces Rules for Early Retirement in Certain Professions

According to the Cabinet of Ministers’ decision dated October 10, a new procedure has been approved to form the list of professions and positions eligible for early retirement benefits.
The process for updating or adding to the list of jobs involving hazardous or harmful working conditions will now be clearly regulated.
Employees may submit proposals in two copies — one to the employer and one to the trade union. A special commission will inspect workplaces, focusing on safety standards, protective equipment, and technical conditions.

At the same time, the government is discussing a reform project to gradually raise the retirement age — to 63 for men and 58 for women
