Pensions: "Poletti and Boeri, don't dismantle the reform"

"Plan with pension flexibility: Poletti and Boeri know very well that the Fornero reform has introduced a ''reward'' mechanism in favor of those individuals who delay access to retirement" - "Life expectancy at 65 will rise in 2050 at 22 years for men and 25,3 years for women”.

Pensions: "Poletti and Boeri, don't dismantle the reform"

Tito Boeri, the new INPS president, in an interview-program with an important newspaper, joined the transversal party of flexible retirement. Boeri knows very well that the Fornero reform (by the way: it is disgusting that this respectable lady is always forced to defend herself alone from the insults of a murderer like Matteo Salvini) has introduced a ''reward'' mechanism in favor of those subjects who delay accessing the pension with respect to the minimum age in force and up to the age of 70 (to which is added the automatic link to life expectancy) . Indeed, protection against unjustified dismissal is even extended to those who make this choice. Therefore, retirement is already flexible.

The new coryphaei (Giuliano Poletti in the lead) agitate the ''politically correct'' solution of flexibility for the sole purpose of lowering the minimum access threshold, thus restoring some form of early retirement (they have already managed, in the stability law, to get rid of , until the end of 2017, the modest economic penalty foreseen for those who, despite having accrued the contribution requirement, went into retirement before the age of 62).

Yet life expectancy at 65, which in 2015 was 18,6 years for men and 22,2 for women, will rise by mid-century to 22 and 25,3 years respectively. The ''beautiful souls'' argue that by retiring earlier they will receive lower treatments. But why prepare to have poor old men, when they might not be by working a few more years?
