In an interview published in the national daily Le Soleil, Labor Minister Abass Fall announced that the Ministry is finalizing decrees to implement new Labor and Social Security Codes, which will introduce significant reforms.
A key feature of these reforms is the extension of pension benefits to Senegalese workers residing outside the country. “Many emigrants worked and did not have the chance to have a retirement pension,” Minister Fall stated. “Now, Senegalese who work elsewhere can collect their pensions here in Senegal.”
Other significant reforms include the establishment of a Social Stability Pact and the merger of the Senegalese Retirement Provident Institution (IPRES) and the Social Security Fund. These measures aim to strengthen social protection for all workers in Senegal.
Minister Fall emphasized that the new Labor Code and the revised Social Security Code will provide greater security and benefits for all workers in Senegal.
The implementation of these reforms marks a significant step towards improving the social and economic well-being of Senegalese workers, both domestically and abroad.
