In Ukraine, retiring will become more difficult in a few months: a large portion will not be able to receive payments at 60 years old
From 1 January 2027, Ukraine will again raise the required insured work record for retirement. To receive payments at 60 years old, one will need to have at least 34 years of contributions — one year more than in 2026. At the same time, a large share of Ukrainians may not meet this condition, since the average insurance record of those retiring is about 33 years and 9 months.
Those who lack sufficient contributions will have to postpone retirement until 63 or 65 years old. And the insured work-record requirements will continue to rise in 2028.
