The ruling majority in
parliament on Wednesday presented a resolution on the
government's economic blueprint, the DEF, calling on Premier
Matteo Renzi's executive to introduce greater flexibility in the
pensions system to make it easier for people close to retirement
age to quit work.
The resolution said this could include "reasonable
penalizations" in monthly pension payments for those who want to
retire early.
It also mentioned the possibility of "interventions,
including selective ones, in special cases of involuntary
unemployment" and for people with physically demanding jobs.
Renzi's executive has said it is studying ways introduce
greater flexibility in the system.
Last week Tito Boeri, the head of pensions and social
security agency INPS, said Italy risks having entire generations
miss out in the labour market without pension reforms that would
accelerate generational turnover.
