The objective is clear: launch a pension reform that exceeds the plant of Fornero law introducing greater outbound flexibility. How to reach the goal, however, is not clear. For months the government has been talking about two mechanisms: share 100, which would make it possible to retire when the sum of age and years of contributions equals at least this amount, e share 41, which would allow you to leave your job with precisely 41 years of contributions, regardless of age. The problem now is understanding how these innovations can enter the budget law, considering that the coverage available for this expenditure item does not exceed 7-8 billion euros. Here are the latest guesses.
PENSION REFORM: FEE 100 (OR 104)
Allowing all the people who reach 100 with the sum of age and contributions to retire would be too expensive. The idea is therefore to introduce two minimum limits: 62 years of age and 38 years of contributions. This means that for over-62s the odds of 100 would turn into odds of 101, 102, 103 or 104, depending on the combinations:
- 62 years of age + 38 of contributions (quota 100)
- 63 years of age + 38 of contributions (quota 101)
- 64 years of age + 38 of contributions (quota 102)
- 65 years of age + 38 of contributions (quota 103)
- 66 years of age + 38 of contributions (quota 104)
Anyone who retires with this system, however, will not be able to combine the social security check with another salary or with the proceeds of any other work activity.
PENSION REFORM: FEE 41
The main sponsor of quota 41 is the Northern League leader Matteo Salvini, who convinced the allies of the 5 Star Movement to insert the measure into the government contract. In the update note to the Economics and Finance Document there is no explicit mention of this intervention, but quota 41 still has a good chance of ending up in the budget law. Those concerned - a circle that includes former exodus workers, early workers and those engaged in onerous activities - continue to keep up the pressure on Salvini, who would have let himself be convinced by their not very high number. In all, there is talk of 30-40 thousand people.
