Minister of Social Affairs Elisabeth Baume-Schneider comments on behalf of the Federal Council on the initiative for a 13th AHV pension and the pension initiative of the Young Liberals.

An AHV showdown will take place at the ballot box on March 3, 2024. On this day, the people’s initiative of the trade unions for a 13th AHV pension will be voted on. This also applies to the pension initiative of the Young Liberals. This wants to increase the retirement age for everyone to 66 in 2033 and then automatically adjust it to life expectancy.

That is what the AHV initiatives are all about

There will be a pension showdown at the ballot box on March 3. The voters will then decide on two AHV initiatives: on the one hand, on the unions’ popular initiative for a 13th AHV pension. On the other hand, about the pension initiative of the Young Liberals.

The trade unions’ popular initiative “for a better life in old age” calls for the introduction of a 13th AHV pension. If the answer is yes, a thirteenth monthly salary for seniors will be added to the previous twelve monthly pensions.

The Young Liberals’ pension initiative wants to increase the retirement age. First, it should gradually increase from 65 to 66 years by 2033 and then be linked to life expectancy: per month of additional life expectancy it should increase by 0.8 months – to 67, 68 or more. Automatically.

Details about both initiatives can be found here.

The electorate will then decide which direction pension provision should take in the future. A strengthening of the AHV pensions with a 13th monthly salary for retirees? Or a reduction in the burden on the AHV fund because everyone has to work longer?

Minister of Social Affairs Elisabeth Baume-Schneider (60) explained the arguments of the Federal Council against the initiative for a 13th AHV pension and the pension initiative of the Young Liberals at a media conference in Bern on Monday morning. The Federal Council and Parliament reject both initiatives. Blick reports live. (oco)
