pay cut of 5 % for more than half of those in employment

[Anatoli]

ну вот, завтра Правительство объявит о новом генеальном плане спасения экономики , а точнее спасения пенсионной системы.
так как количество пенсионеров растет, а доходов бюджета больше не становиться:

1. пенсионный возвраст будет постепенно увеличен на три года.
2. работающие не вносящие сейчас взносов в пенсионные фонды будут отдавать 5% заработной платы в пенсионный фонд, и 2 % будет добавлять работодатель.

ONE million workers who have not made any provision for their retirement incomes will be forced to pay into a pension scheme, the Irish Independent has learned.

The new system, which will be announced tomorrow by the Government, will mean all those who are in a job but not in a pension will have to join one.

In practical terms, such a move could mean workers effectively taking a pay cut of 5pc, as this is the likely contribution that would have to be made to a mandatory pension.

Currently, more than half of those in employment do not have a pension.

The move is aimed at forcing low and moderate earners to save for retirement, rather than relying solely on the state pension, which is ?230 a week for those with sufficient PRSI payments.

It will be possible to escape this mandatory pension, but only after a number of years.
