Arevised Labor Pension system, launched by the government in January 2009, is expected to benefit 8.8 million working people. This system is complemented by a newly established National Pension system providing a basic pension to some 3.5 million citizens not eligible for the pensions provided to military personnel and government employees. The National Pension was introduced in October 2008 after a 15-year struggle to get the plan in place.
