The automatic increase of three months more work before retiring old age, which would take in 2027, will be frozen in the next maneuver. But not for everyone.
The cost is high and the government, which has not mentioned it in the programmatic document of public finance (DPFP), is working on some rules to reduce the economic impact. This is the messenger that relaunches a couple of hypotheses that would have been found on the technical tables that are facing the dossier.
The two hypotheses on the pitch
The main hypothesis – reports the newspaper – provides that the suspension of the three -month increase in the retirement age only for those who have already turned 64 in 2027. For them the three -month step would no longer be there. This means, for example, that if a worker is 62 years old, despite having worked for 42 years and 10 months the increase in the three months will be applied. The cutting of the audience of the beneficiaries would be consistent. According to the first estimates, the cost of this measures would drop from 1 billion per year to 300 million.
There would also be another road on the table – reports the newspaper – which would have been proposed by the general accounting. Take for 2027 at least one month of increasing age of retirement. Which could take place both directly, and passing through the introduction of a mobile window, that is, the period that passes between the moment when the right to retirement is accrued and the moment when the work can then be left. The newspaper recalls that accounting “had also placed another relevant theme on the freezing of the adaptation of the age of retirement to life expectancy”. In this case, the node is that of the transformation coefficients, i.e. of the multiplier that allows the calculation of the pension based on the contributions paid, which is a second stabilization mechanism that serves to counterbalance the increase in life expectancy. The newspaper also reports an estimate: the accounting – he explains – calculated that if the adaptation to the life expectancy was canceled without intervening on the coefficients, pensions would be reduced by about 9 percent.
