Basic income, pension decree ready for approval

(ANSA) - Rome, January 17 - The decree that will bring in the government's two flagship measures - the 'citizenship wage' basic income for job seekers and the 'quota 100' pension reform that will reduce the retirement age for some people - is ready and will be approved at a cabinet meeting later on Thursday, the government has said. "Everything has been resolved, Everything is fine. The text is ready," said Labour Undersecretary Claudio Durigon after a meeting of top government figures, including Premier Giuseppe Conte and his two deputies, Interior Minster Matteo Salvini and Labour and Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio.
