    Baghdad - Nas   
    The Legal Committee in the Iraqi Council of Representatives seeks to amend the unified retirement law and raise the service age from 60 to 63 years, in a move that would meet with popular rejection, especially from the unemployed, who have been raising the slogan of demanding employment, the same that they demanded in the "October Revolution." 2019 in addition to the eradication of corruption and decent living.

    Representative Ahmed Al-Fawaz said in a statement to Kurdish media, "There is a parliamentary tendency to submit a request to raise the retirement age, as I uploaded a letter signed by 60 deputies in order to restore the legal age of the retired from 60 to 63 years, based on numerous appeals by those who were referred." to retirement or those still in service.  
      
    Al-Fawwaz explained that "they believe that they can still provide service in government departments," noting that "the book will be presented to the Speaker of Parliament (Muhammad al-Halbousi) this week, in order to discuss it by the Legal Committee and open the door for proposals in order to benefit from any proposal." It might help us in this respect."  
      
    A member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee pointed out that "many of those covered will benefit from this matter, due to the accumulated experience and competence that the employee acquired during his years of professional service."  
      
    Official statistics indicate that there are more than four million employees, more than three million retirees, and more than two million who receive social protection network salaries. According to economists, 70 percent of the budget goes to the operational budget as salaries and other operating expenses.  
      
    Retirement is reaching the legal age at which a person stops working or permanently withdraws from it. In Iraq, retirement is regulated by Law No. 9 of 2014 regarding the Unified Retirement Law, which stipulates the rights and obligations of Iraqi citizens in relation to retirement. Note that the legal retirement age is 60 years.  
      
    Observers believe that raising the retirement age may cause a new crisis in Iraq similar to the one currently taking place in France, where hundreds of thousands of demonstrators take to the country every Saturday to protest against raising the retirement age, in order to continue pressuring the government to abandon its plans.  
      
    Iraq may witness, in the event of the adoption of a law to raise the retirement age, mass demonstrations throughout the country, especially by graduates of colleges and universities who have been suffering from unemployment for many years without prospects for finding solutions to their problem.  
      
    Even years before the outbreak of the Iraqi demonstrations in October 2019, graduates of colleges and universities organized weekly vigils, demanding job and employment opportunities, based on competence, stopping partisan quotas in job sharing, and amending some laws related to government appointments and retirement.  
      
    Despite their continued protest movement, in most of the country's governorates, including the cities of the Kurdistan region in northern Iraq, nothing has been achieved for them, despite repeated government promises in this regard.  
      
    The true and exact number of the unemployed is not known, whether they are university graduates or holders of master's and doctorate degrees in Iraq, but estimates indicate that the number has exceeded one million, and all of them are looking for jobs, whether in the private or government sectors.  
      
    About a quarter of this number participates in front of the ministries and government headquarters buildings in the capital, Baghdad, and other provinces, most notably Sulaymaniyah, Kirkuk, Babil, Nasiriyah, Basra, Maysan, Babil, and other cities. The past months witnessed arrests among their ranks, but the detainees are usually released after pledging not to demonstrate again.  
      
    Slogans are raised, including "Appointment is our right, and direct is our demand" and others, but during the five years the government has not sought to attract any segment of them, due to the inflated number of employees that state institutions suffer from in the country, as a result of the huge appointment campaigns undertaken by previous governments, Specifically, the government of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki (2006-2014), as this period is classified as the most oriented towards hiring graduates without a clear systematic study of the distribution of employees or the method of benefiting from them.
