Episode Details

Andorra’s government is rolling out a bold new bill to let workers with severe disabilities retire early—between ages 55 and 64—with disability ratings of 45% or higher, or 60% for the most severe cases. Designed to match regular retirement benefits without cutting off existing supplements, this move offers financial relief and dignity to those who’ve faced life’s toughest challenges. While only 23 people are projected to benefit in the first five years at a cost of 80,000 euros, the potential annual cost could rise to 210,000 euros if widely adopted. Beyond early retirement, the bill includes a sweeping national prevention plan covering prenatal care, vaccinations, workplace safety, and lifelong healthy habits—aiming to reduce disability risks across the board. Still under review by the General Council, this legislation marks a crucial step toward supporting vulnerable citizens and ensuring a dignified transition into retirement.
