Supreme Court dismisses claim that 40-year male pension requirement violates gender equality constitution.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Antoniego K.'s cassation appeal challenging a 40-year insurance tenure requirement for early retirement. The applicant argued this rule discriminated against men compared to the 35-year requirement for women under the 1997 Government Ordinance. The Court ruled that the higher requirement for men is a necessary compensation to equalize pension rights with women, who face different calculation methods, and thus does not violate constitutional equality guarantees.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 33 ust. 1 i 2 Konstytucji; Art. 67 ust. 1 Konstytucji: The requirement of a longer insurance period for men to equalize pension rights with women does not constitute unconstitutional gender discrimination.
