The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA), Mr. Christopher Boadi-Mensah, has called for a national dialogue to consider extending the country’s mandatory retirement age from 60 to 65, citing increased life expectancy and changing demographic realities.
Speaking before the Parliamentary Select Committee on Employment, Pensions and Labour on Thursday, Mr. Boadi-Mensah explained that advancements in healthcare mean many Ghanaians now live for decades after retiring, placing significant strain on the pension system.
