The pension for women in Vietnam has just been adjusted according to Decree 153/2018/ND-CP. This Decree was recently promulgated. It will come into effect at the end of this year.
The Government of Vietnam has just issued Decree 153/2018/ND-CP on policies for adjusting pensions for female employees who started receiving pensions during the period from 2018 to 2021 and have paid social insurance contributions from 20 years to 29 years and 6 months.
This Decree stipulates policies for adjusting pensions for female employees who started receiving pensions during the period from 2018 to 2021 and have paid social insurance contributions from 20 years to 29 years and 6 months. These female employees are adversely affected compared to male workers due to changes in pension calculation methods as stipulated by the 2014 Social Insurance Law compared to the 2006 Social Insurance Law.
Female employees who started receiving pensions from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2021, and have paid social insurance contributions from 20 years to 29 years and 6 months, depending on the time they have paid social insurance and the time they start receiving pensions, the pension amount will be adjusted according to the pension calculation stipulated in Clause 2, Article 56 or Clause 2, Article 74 of the 2014 Social Insurance Law plus the adjustment amount.
The adjustment amount is calculated by multiplying the pension amount calculated according to Clause 2, Article 56 or Clause 2, Article 74 of the 2014 Social Insurance Law at the time of starting to receive pensions by the corresponding adjustment rate based on the time contributed to social insurance and the time of starting to receive pensions.
