Questions have increased regarding the amendment of the retirement age in Iraq for 2024. These inquiries seem to stem from the numerous proposals put forth by the Iraqi government to make amendments aimed at improving the economic conditions for retirees and achieving financial stability for them, which has sparked the interest of many Iraqi citizens seeking to understand the details related to these changes.

The Iraqi Parliament has announced a proposal for a series of partial amendments to the retirement law, aimed at improving the overall economic situation for retirees. This decision is part of the government’s efforts to achieve economic balance, allowing the state to benefit from the expertise of retirees by assigning them new tasks in the labor market, especially with the upcoming implementation of these amendments in the last months of 2024.

Key Points of the Amendments to the Retirement Law

The following are the main points covered:

• Raising the retirement age to 63 years instead of 60 years, allowing employees the opportunity to continue working for a longer period.
• Increasing the early retirement age from 45 years to 50 years.
• Raising the retirement age for those under special laws to 65 years instead of 60 years, aiming to better utilize their experience.
