By virtue of this agreement, retirement age - currently 65 for men and 60 for women – should gradually increase to 67, by 2020 for the former and by 2040 for the latter.

The government estimates that this system could concern about 200,000 people. Without this political alliance, it would be hard for the government to pass the reform through the Diet.
