In an interview published by El Mercurio on December 8, 2025, academic Mauricio Apablaza analyzed the debate surrounding mandatory retirement regulations in the public sector.
Apablaza warned that the coexistence of a fixed retirement age for public servants and a lower, but non-mandatory, age in the private sector creates confusion in the system, noting that the discussion should not focus solely on defining a “correct” age, but rather on understanding the implications and nuances surrounding the retirement process.
His presentation offers a technical perspective that invites reflection on how to reconcile experience, productivity, and renewal within the government.
