Specifically, this initiative proposed establishing in the Constitution that the retirement age is 60 years, equate minimum liabilities to the minimum wage and eliminate AFAPs. While one of the points of social dialogue that was reached this week includes the “disconnection of the AFAP from the direct administration” of the funds.
