Others will be entitled to 20 percent, instead of 10 percent at present, according to the VSS’s proposal.
The agency expects the raise will help attract more voluntary participants, particular those from poor and near-poor households, with the coverage growing from nearly 1.13 million at the end of 2020 to around 3.6 million by the end of 2025 and 8.9 million by 2030./.
