Work, with youth bonus targeting 300 new jobs

Welfare Minister Giuliano Poletti said yesterday at the CL meeting in Rimini that the government aims to create 300 new jobs with the youth bonus to which 2 billion euros will be allocated to facilitate the hiring of boys and girls up to probably at 29 years of age through the cut in contributions.

The government's goal is to create 300 new jobs for the new generations. This is the meaning of the youth bonus which will be included in the next Budget Law and which will aim to facilitate the stable hiring of boys and girls (probably up to 29 years of age) through the lever of tax relief.

Welfare minister Giuliano Poletti said so yesterday at the CL meeting in Rimini. The minister specified that the methods of intervention are still being studied but that the law will include anti-dismissal rules against the "cunning behavior" of unscrupulous entrepreneurs, also to prevent a worker who has run out of hire another with the new incentives.

However, the age threshold up to which the tax relief on work will be valid has not yet been defined, although up to now the age of 29 is the most probable. However, it is not excluded that, under pressure from the unions, it will reach 32 years.

Poletti, in view of the meeting with the trade union confederations, finally recalled that the guarantee pension for young people who have years of precarious work behind them and who therefore risk not accruing a sufficient pension, is also being studied.

On the postponement of the raising of the retirement age to 67, the minister instead took refuge in a corner, arguing that before making a decision, the Government awaits the updated projections of Istat.
