Professional dancers' pension: lowered retirement age and new rules
The bill introduces a special pension for professional dancers, allowing them to retire at age 40 (women) or 45 (men) after 20 years of work. The change aims to improve the financial situation of artists whose profession involves heavy physical strain and a short career span.
Key points
Lowered retirement age: 40 for female dancers, 45 for male dancers, with minimum 20 years of service.
Required employment as a dancer or work on commission in ballet/dance ensembles in cultural institutions.
Pension cannot be lower than the minimum pension – guaranteed minimum benefit.
Dancers lose the right to bridge pension (early retirement at 50/55) – replaced by new, more favorable pension.
Work periods before the law enters into force (also on commission contracts) count toward required service.
Estimated budget cost: 7 to 34 million PLN annually, depending on number of beneficiaries (600–2400 people).
The act enters into force on January 1, 2026.
