MK Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu), said Wednesday at the Eli Horwitz Conference on Economics and Society that just as a minimum wage for every person who works is set, an minimum income for the elderly should be created.
"The plight of the elderly population is a kind of tsunami in which more and more people who have spent their entire lives saving enter into a cycle of poverty and hunger. The older bar of minimum income is not enough. "
"I can tell you with full confidence - we will change this, and the next government will set a minimum income threshold for the elderly at 70% of the minimum wage," said Forer.
