Tunisia – The Tunisian government will start by the beginning of next year the application of the exceptional provisions for retirement before reaching the legal age in the government sector after the ratification of the law. The law allows government employees of legal age for retirement during the period from 1 January 2018 to 1 January 2021 to apply for a pension before they reach retirement age, as part of the government plan to reduce the number of state employees from 650 thousand to less than 500 thousand in the next five years. Press sources said that the Prime Minister asked the various ministries to prepare lists of employees who reached the age of voluntary retirement and met the requirements of this law to meet the desired objectives of this law next year and control the state budget on this basis.
