“I’m in favor of people who are able to work doing so for as long as they can,” said Fedak in an interview, according to Bloomberg. “There are a number of professions in Poland that allow you to retire after 15 years of work. That should change, those people should work longer.” Army employees, police and miners are among the groups with the right to retire earlier. Poland’s retirement age is 60 for women and 65 for men, higher than some other EU countries, though many Poles stop working earlier, Bloomberg reports. Fedak said the solution to the problem in the labor market is to help people set up their own businesses or give financial incentives to continue working instead of increasing the retirement age or evening out the age that men or women retire, as some EU have decided. “What we need in Poland is to encourage people to stay in work until they reach the retirement age, not raise the age limit itself,” Fedak contended. “Legislative changes that equalize the retirement age of men and women don’t make sense. What is the point of telling a 60-year-old woman she has to work another five years if there’s no job for her?”
