Anses: which retirees will receive an increase in March
Certain groups of retirees in the education sector in Argentina will receive a pension increase in March.
In Argentina, retirees from non-university educational sectors will see a pension increase of 5.28% in March, which benefits over 200,600 retirees from basic and middle education. This adjustment is calculated based on the variation in the Ripdoc salary index, reflecting changes in average wage contributions from teachers. It is important to note that the average retirement benefit for this group was approximately $2.06 million in December, exclusive of the half-yearly bonus.
Moreover, university professors and retirees will also receive an adjustment, with their pensions increasing by 4.26%. This decision impacts around 13,300 retirees and pensioners from universities, highlighting the government's focus on maintaining the financial well-being of those who have served in the educational sector.
These increases come as part of broader policies to adjust pensions in accordance with salary variations and inflation, aiming to support the economic stability of retirees. Such adjustments indicate a governmental effort to address cost-of-living changes and ensure that educational employees receive a fair pension as a recognition of their contribution to society, particularly in times of financial strain within the country.
