A 2-3 year discount to women on the requirements to access theSocial bee and a modification of the Rita (Temporary supplementary annuity in advance) to make it immediately usable for everyone. According to reports from Il Sole 24 Ore, these are the two main measures being studied by the government to further reform pensions with the budget law arriving next autumn.
The technicians of the Presidency of the Council and of the Ministry of Labor are looking for the team to start the so-called "phase 2" and perfect "phase 1" of the pension protocol signed a year ago between the government and the unions. Some of the intervention hypotheses will be discussed on Thursday in the last meeting before the summer break between the Minister of Labour, Giuliano Poletti, and the delegations of CGIL, CISL and UIL.
It could come in the fall too stop the automatic increase of the retirement age of 2019 (+3 months for adjustment to life expectancy calculated by Istat). If the government finds sufficient resources, the workers included in the list of heavy activities of the Ape social (construction workers, kindergarten teachers, nurses and more) should benefit from the measure.
An increase in the resources allocated for the Ape social (300 million euros for this year and up to 609 million euros for 2018) and for early retirement to early workers with at least 41 years of contributions (360 million in 2017 and 505 next year), given the unexpected amount of applications already received by INPS (more than 66 thousand as of 15 July).
As for the establishment of a guarantee pension for young people, will probably be postponed to next year, thus becoming one of the arguments that the parties - Pd in the lead - will be able to spend during the electoral campaign for the next policies.
