În ce condiții poți ieși la pensie fără penalizare la doar 60 de ani? Câți ani ești obligat să muncești? • Newsweek România

In Romania, individuals can retire at 60 for men and 58 for women without penalties if they have at least 40 years of contribution. The standard retirement age is 65 for men and gradually increasing to 65 for women by 2035. To retire early without penalties, one must exceed the required 35 years of contribution by at least 5 years, which can include recognized non-contributory periods. These include university studies, military service, and maternity leave. If the required contribution years are not met, penalties apply, reducing the pension amount based on the years of contribution. Working while receiving a penalized pension is prohibited.
