ANGOLA: Govt Approves Regulation On Elderly People Protection

LUANDA (AngolaPress), April 30, 2008: The Angolan Cabinet Council approved this Wednesday, here, the Decree on Contribution Regime of the Compulsory Social Protection and the Regulation on Protection of elderly people, during the fourth ordinary session, chaired by the Head of State, José Eduardo dos Santos. According to a communiqué, the decree on Contribution Regime of the Compulsory Social Protection “establishes the procedures related to the obligations of enrolment and contribution of insurers to guarantee the efficient collection of contributions for the compulsory social protection”. The regulation on Elderly People Protection regulates the attribution of the aged reform, the anticipated pension reform and the bonus for aged people, establishing that all insured who reaches 60 years or completes 420 months on contribution entrance, has the right to a pension reform for aged. The Session approved also the Regulation on the Regime of Private Employees and the Regulation on the Protection of Clergy and Religious Entities. The Regulation on the regime of Private employees is destined to those who practise the professional activity without being subject to the working contract and are not registered in the regime of the employees on behalf of others, reads the note. This regulation establishes that they are required to register in the social protection, being subjected to the payment of monthly contributions in order to benefit from the social protection in the reform age. During the meeting the government approved as well the proposal of the country’s adhesion to the 2005 International Sanitary regulation that aims to prevent, protect, control and respond, in terms of health, the eventual international spread of diseases, avoiding in that way unnecessary interferences with the trade and the international commerce. © 1996-2003 Angop.
