Brazil’s Temer Says Women Should Retire Earlier Than Men: Paper

Brazilian interim President Michel Temer told local newspapers women should retire earlier than men, explaining why he did not support making a potential minimum retirement age equal for both sexes as his government tackles pension reform.

"A little difference is reasonable," Temer said, according to an interview published in O Globo newspaper Saturday. "The woman, in addition to outside work, does the inner work in the home, she is a mother, etc., sometimes cares for siblings."
