Maricarmen Molina of CSTS, expressed that there are approximately 700 thousand workers who are outside the pension system and they are also proposing the creation of a tripartite pension institute in which there is representation of the Central Government, workers and employers.

Likewise, the representative of CSTS said that they are proposing to provide a Universal Pension which would include senior citizens, housewives and self-employed workers.

Jaime Avalos, vice-president of AGEPYM, pointed out that they are requesting an increase in the contribution from the employer sector, as one of the measures to achieve a replacement rate of 70%.

The AGEMPYM leader expressed that the population should not withdraw the money that will serve them in their old age. "Asking for a 25% pension advance is a trap, workers do not only withdraw money, they also withdraw work time", he said.

He indicated that the country needs to have a better financial education so that people have knowledge of how pension money is invested and thus achieve better replacement rates, it is necessary to dignify the pension of workers.
