President Lee Calls for Review of Retirement Pension System to Enhance Stability and Returns

 President Lee Jae-myung has called for a thorough review of the country's retirement pension system to enhance its stability and returns.
 
During a meeting of senior aides at the Blue House on the afternoon of June 25, President Lee emphasized the need for in-depth discussions on improving the system's performance. He received a report from the Office of Social Affairs regarding measures to ensure fairness in the labor market and strengthen the basic safety net.
 
Blue House spokesperson Kang Yu-jung reported that the meeting included a detailed examination of retirement pension operations based on the size of businesses (those with fewer than 300 employees and those with more).
 
According to Kang, President Lee pointed out that the retirement pension system should be analyzed from three perspectives: stability from the employer's side, self-protection stability for workers, and the need for expertise to improve returns. He suggested that social discussions on these areas should be conducted more deeply and extensively.
 
Additionally, President Lee urged his aides to foster creativity and proactive thinking, stating, "The Blue House is a place where new ideas and planning are crucial. It is the role of Blue House staff to set an example by thinking creatively and actively." He stressed the importance of policy planning while also urging aides to effectively communicate key policies to the public.
