But remember that from 2020 the criteria for the Irish State Pension is due to change. Assuming the change goes ahead as planned, once you have a minimum of 30 years PRSI you will qualify for the full pension. If less than 30 years then it will be a proportionate payment. So PRSI contributed at age 16 plus will be of benefit.
A ridiculous aspect of this is as follow:
Like many people, I did some work at 16. Then I was studying for a number of years (call it 6). Then I entered the workforce for real.
On the basis of the above, I won't qualify for a full pension because my 6 years of inactivity contaminates my total working life.
A disincentive to take a part-time job as a kid if ever there was one...
I thought full-time students were entitled to credits for the years they were in education?? Surely that hasn't changed?
