Beginning from January 1, 2022 the amendments to the Code of Turkmenistan on social security of the population will come into force.

According to the amendments, women aged 52 who have given birth and raised eight or more children under the age of eight with participation in compulsory pension insurance (work experience) of at least 10 years will be eligible for pension benefits.

The current legislation provides for the right to a pension of women over 54 years old who have given birth to five or more children, raised them up to the age of eight, who participated in the compulsory pension insurance system for at least 15 years.

Thus, the age of mothers with many children has been reduced by 2 years, and the required period of work - by 5 years.

The amendments to the Law concerned cash payments. Now the size of the state allowance for the birth of the fifth child will be 600 percent, for the sixth child - 800 percent, for the seventh child - 1000 percent, for the birth of the eighth child and subsequent children - 1200 percent.
