In the next five years, between the 2024 and the 2028in the public administrations they will serve 846 thousand hires to cope with the departures of ageing staff (approximately 773 thousand (coming out within five years) but also to cover new needs especially in health and in theassistance. Precisely for this reason the government is evaluating an ad hoc intervention to keep employees working on a voluntary basis, postponing retirement after the old age of 67 years old. Hypothesis which opens the CISLbut that doesn’t please at all Cgil And Uilready to raise the issue and ask for clarification as soon as possible September 24thon the occasion of the meeting with theAran on the renewal of the contract of central functions (ministries, tax agencies, non-economic public bodies).
In practice, according to the updated forecasts of the Excelsior Reportit will be necessary to 169 thousand revenues per year for the vast majority of people with a tertiary education. And faced with the difficulties that the administration could encounter, especially with regards to the provision of services, the government is apparently considering a rule to allow people to remain at work after the 67 years old in a substantially automatic way, therefore without the need for the worker to request the administration to remain in service once the age threshold has been reached. The administration therefore, with this hypothesis, could not reject the request as can happen now. Those who instead want to go to pension at the age required by law, you will be able to continue to do so by applying (without being rejected), but the exit will no longer be automatic as it is today. The rule, as anticipated by Messengercould be inserted by the government in the Budget Law or in a separate provision.
Contrasting opinions on government plans
In the public sector, however, with old age, about half of those who retire early (before old age as with the Quote or with 42 years and 10 months of contributions). In the 2023 in fact, old-age pensions in the public sector starting in the year were approximately 28 thousand in comparison with the approximately 57 thousand advance).
The hypothesis, underlines the person in charge of the social security policies of the Cgil, Enzo Cignait is not acceptable and in any case it would concern very few people and only those with high qualifications. «Instead of retaining employees and still making money on pensions – he says – we should make new hiringthe public administration needs new skills”. But there are also difficulties with new hiring, with several cases of public positions rejected in recent months, especially by graduates in scientific and technical disciplines, in favor of more dynamic and better paid occupations. And there is the issue of the cities of North where the cost of living is higher and where public employment is not as attractive.
«The government’s idea of voluntarily extending the retirement age of public employees beyond 67 years old – underlines the leader of the Uilpa, Sandro Colombini – is the demonstration of the complete failure of the personnel policies of the PA adopted in recent years. On the 24th we have the meeting at theAran on the renewal of the contract for central functions. We will ask for clarifications”.
«An initiative of this type could be useful to avoid losing professionals who are still able to give a contribution to the institutions and the country», he instead maintains Ignatius Ganga from the CISL which specifies: «In no case should any form of restriction or penalty be introduced».
Sectors and qualifications required in new hires
