Some 53,000 early retirements
are "guaranteed" thanks to measures the government has taken
over the last two years, govt economist Stefano Patriarca said
Monday.
He said the measures taken would "enable 53,000 people to
have pensions or benefits anticipated by a range spanning five
months to three years". Speaking at a CISL trade union seminar,
Patriarca said the "discounts" would cover "20% of the number
foreseen for 2019".
Without these moves the "exits" would have been 276,000, he
said.
The government has been negotiating with unions over the
possibility of taking early retirement on a lower pensions
cheque.
Italy's retirement age if due to rise to 67 years by 2019.
