Coming in May the "orange envelopesi", the tool that allows "Italian workers to know what their future pensions will be". It is to announce it the president of INPS, Tito Boeri, during an intervention on Radio anch'io: "So workers will be able to evaluate what are the implications of choosing different retirement dates, of changing their salaries and their contributions and how much this will have effects on their pension".
It is, continued Boeri, "a very important operation because it meets a need for profound information that exists in our country and that the governments that have followed one another in recent years have never wanted to provide citizens perhaps because they were afraid of having negative repercussions by giving this information”.
Furthermore, for the president of INPS, at the moment there is "an equity issue that needs to be addressed”, because there are people who enjoy “very high pensions which are not justified by the contributions they have paid during their entire working life”. These people, for Boeri, "can be asked to give something to counter thepoverty especially in the 55/65 age group. We want to find a way for these generations to fight poverty and give them the opportunity to retire earlier in a sustainable way".
The "basic philosophy - continued the INPS president - is that ofequity: we will make these proposals for equity, not to raise cash".
Boeri then addressed the issue of the safeguard mechanism for i displaced workers, admitting that “there is something wrong. Far fewer people than they should have perceived have applied, so there is something not quite right with these safeguards. We have to ask ourselves the problem of who gets stuck”.
“The INPS – concluded Boeri – is not a criminal association at all, there are people who give their lives, there are certainly management problems that we have to solve”. In this context of general distrust, "a transparency operation becomes fundamental: telling the truth to Italians is the best thing to strengthen a generational pact".
