The representative of the Ministry of National Defense informed the basic contents of the Law on Military Service.

It is noteworthy that the Law on Military Service stipulates that the age for citizens to enlist in the army in peacetime is from 18 to 27 years old.

Thus, the age for citizens to join the army has increased by 2 years compared to previous regulations.

The law also stipulates that military service can only be postponed for high school students and students who are receiving full-time university or college training.

These subjects will be called up for military service after graduation. For citizens who are studying at schools or are admitted to schools belonging to educational institutions that are not subject to temporary deferment of military service, they will be called up for military service and have their results reserved. After completing their military service, they will be allowed to continue their studies.

Resolution on implementing the policy of one-time social insurance benefits for employees takes effect from January 1, 2016.

The Resolution affirms: Employees are allowed to reserve their social insurance payment period to be eligible for pension to ensure their life when they reach retirement age according to the provisions of the 2014 Law on Social Insurance.

In case an employee participates in compulsory social insurance after 1 year of leaving work, or a voluntary social insurance participant does not continue to pay social insurance after 1 year but has not paid social insurance for 20 years, he/she will receive social insurance one time upon request.

The one-time social insurance level for insurance participants is calculated based on the number of years of social insurance contributions./.
