Review of retirement age: I’ll go along with the majority who support it – Dr. Rashid Pelpuo

Dr. Rashid Pelpuo, the Minister-Designate for Labour, Jobs, and Employment, has said he will support calls for a review of Ghana’s retirement age, currently set at 60 years if given the nod.

Speaking during his vetting before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on January 30, Dr. Pelpuo noted that such a decision would need a national consensus before any adjustment to the retirement age.

He further stressed the need for broad national consensus before making such a significant policy change, highlighting the importance of inclusive dialogue in shaping the future of Ghana’s workforce.

“There’s a lot of talk about increasing the retirement age now, some say up to 65 years, some say up to 70 years, but they are still strong why should they retire? I think it should come as a result of a harmonious decision. We will need to reconsider or consider whether it’s time for us to do it or not.

“I will go along with the many who will pose a view that there’s a need for a review, given our economy and our capacity to deal with it.
