Tomas: Ministry Submits Law Aimed at Eliminating Discrimination against Mothers

Bratislava, 5 August (TASR) - The Labour Ministry is submitting a law aimed at eliminating discrimination against parents, especially mothers who cared for a child on maternity leave and therefore have lower pensions, for inter-departmental review, Labour Minister Erik Tomas (Voice-SD) told a news conference on Tuesday, adding that the law might take effect as of January 2026. "This measure applies to all mothers who have already retired, but also to those who are yet to retire, so this law will also apply in the future," said Tomas when explaining how it will look in practice. Social-insurance provider Socialna poistovna will re-calculate old-age, early retirement and disability pensions, said Tomas, adding that this will concern some one million pensions. Socialna poistovna has five years to carry out the re-calculation, he said, adding that the change will positively affect 440,000 pensioners. If a mother earned an average salary and raised two children, her pension would be increased by €300 annually. A mother who earned 1.5-times the average salary and raised three children would see her pension increase by €600 annually. The change should also affect those who care for disabled children. ko/df
