(ANSA) - Rome, July 2 - A proposal to extend an early
retirement option for Italian women to men is "unfeasible" the
secretary-general of Italian union Cisl said on Tuesday.
The "Women's option" makes it possible to retire early with
a recalculated pension based on lifelong contributions.
CISL Secretary-General Annamaria Furlan said extending the
option would lead to "a cut of between 20 and 30 percent in
pension allowances", which would be difficult to bear
considering that "the average pension is between 1,000-1,500
euros".
