Since January 1, 2025<\/strong>, the AVS reference age for women has been gradually aligned with that of men, namely 65 years<\/strong>. This change stems from the AVS 21 reform, approved in 2022. It is being implemented in stages based on year of birth:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t 64 years + 3 months<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t 2025-2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t 64 years + 6 months<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t 2026-2027<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t 64 years + 9 months<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t 2027-2028<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t 65 years old<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t 2029<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The women of the transitional generation<\/strong> (born between 1961 and 1969) benefit from compensation measures<\/strong> to mitigate the effects of raising the retirement age to 65. Two forms of compensation are planned.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Women born in 1961 and 1962 can begin drawing their old-age pension as early as 2023 or 2024, that is, before the compensation measures for the transitional generation come into effect. As a result, the more favorable reduction rates will only apply to them starting in 2025. Until then, they remain subject to the current reduction rates: 6.8%<\/strong> for one year of early retirement and 13.6%<\/strong> for two years. The lower their average income was, the smaller the reduction. This reduced rate applies for life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t If they retire at the reference age (without early withdrawal), they receive a monthly pension supplement<\/strong> for life, which varies depending on their income and year of birth. It can reach up to CHF 160 per month<\/strong> for women with modest incomes and a full contribution record. This supplement is not subject to a cap and does not reduce entitlement to supplementary benefits. You can calculate the supplement on the Federal Social Insurance Office (FSIO)<\/strong><\/a> website.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
