Sažetak
In session on July 29, 2010, the Government of Croatia sent the Parliament the draft of a law amending the Retirement Insurance Law, to come into force on October 1, this year. The law provides for the penalisation of early retirement and for making it worthwhile to remain in the world of labour after the age of 65, depending on how much seniority a person has (no more than 15 years is required for the basic old age pension). In the foreseeable future it will be necessary in Croatia to increase the retirement age, In line with trends in other countries, and direct efforts need to be aimed at making sure that employed people really do work during their working lives. We can hope that unpopular measures such as the increased penalisation of early retirement will be a clear sign that it pays to remain in work longer.
