Baghdad Today – Today, Sunday, the Parliamentary Labor and Social Affairs Committee revealed the latest developments in the legislation of the retirement and social security law, while indicating the importance of legislating this law at the present time.
Committee member Fadel Al-Fatlawi told (Baghdad Today), that “we are working on finalizing the legislation of the retirement and social security law,” noting that there is “parliamentary consensus on legislating this law during the current period, and before the end of the current parliament’s life.”
Al-Fatlawi indicated, “The Retirement and Social Security Law will guarantee the protection of workers’ rights from retirement and the guarantee of professionals, especially since Iraq lacks the existence of such a law, despite the presence of many workers and professionals who have been working for years without any real guarantee of their rights,” stressing that The law will guarantee their rights, especially since the law will be legislated according to international standards.”
The Social Security Law provides for the inclusion of large segments of workers in professions and all economic activities related to social security, such as taxi drivers, private transport, shop owners, industrial workshops and other activities of interest to the daily life of society, to be the first step on the road to stopping the popular advance towards the sector year for jobs.
