Should workers below a set income limit be allowed to retire at 62 without a reduced state pension?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This initiative proposed allowing people to receive a state old-age pension from age 62 if they stopped working or earned no more than a permitted amount. People whose employment income remained below a defined limit would not have their pension reduced because they retired before the normal pension age. Supporters argued that early retirement should not be available only to wealthy people and was particularly important for people in physically demanding work or those who lost their jobs shortly before retirement. Opponents argued that the reform would be expensive, encourage widespread retirement at 62 and worsen the pension system's long-term finances as life expectancy increased. Swiss voters rejected the initiative.
