New agreement affects Norwegian pensioners
Trade unions are now welcoming the fact that the government and the parties in the public sector have reached an agreement on the pension rules for occupational groups that have specific age limits, the paper reports.
– This is a victory that secures the incomes of large groups of workers. This has been demanding and there is therefore every reason to praise the labor market minister who has done a good job, says LO’s deputy leader Sissel Skohaug in a press release, according to ABC News.
The agreement reached by the parties in the Norwegian government will in future mean that the age limits, which are currently 60 years, 63 years and 65 years, will have greater flexibility and the opportunity to work longer.

They may earn 335,000 in addition to the pension
In Sweden, in recent years it has become increasingly popular to become a so-called job holder, which is also becoming possible for more and more people in Norway.
Around 200,000 public employees are expected to be affected by the free amount now being raised to 2.7 basic amounts. This means that you who are within the age limits can earn up to NOK 335,000 in addition to your pension without it being shortened, taxed more or affected at all.
– This is important so that more people can stay in work longer, even if they have a special age limit, says Skoghaug.
