Introduction to pension news
The 2025 budget maneuver is taking shape and with it, important news emerges in the field of pensions. Among the most significant measures, it should be noted the possibility of retiring at 64, combining compulsory pension with supplementary pension provision. This initiative, approved thanks to an amendment by the League, represents a step forward towards greater flexibility in the Italian pension system

Details on the new pension measure
The Undersecretary of Labor, Claudio Durigon, announced that for the first time it will be possible to accumulate compulsory and supplementary pension contributions to obtain a pension allowance that can reach up to three times the minimum. This measure aims to solve the problem of poor pensions, which are expected to increase due to an increasingly predominant contribution system. However, to access this opportunity, it will be necessary to have a contribution seniority of at least
20 years.
Early Retirement Requirements
In order to benefit from this new measure, workers must be fully in the contribution scheme. This means that the sum of the social security contributions, combined with the complementary ones, must meet the necessary requirements to access the pension. The Minister of Labor, Marina Calderone, stressed that those who started working after 1995 will have the opportunity to leave at 64, but only if they have accumulated between 25 and 30 years of contributions and the pension allowance complies with the
established limit.
Impact of the measure and reactions
Currently, it is estimated that this measure affects a limited number of workers, mainly those who were hired after January 1, 1996. The projections indicate that the significant effect of this reform will be manifested starting in 2030. However, the reaction of the unions was immediate and critical. The confederal secretary of the CGIL, Lara Ghiglione, expressed concern, stating that the government is not addressing structural inequalities in the social security system, but is only proposing temporary solutions that do not solve the
root problem.
Conclusions and future prospects
In summary, the 2025 budget maneuver introduces important changes in the Italian pension landscape, with the aim of offering greater flexibility to workers. However, the criticisms raised by the unions highlight the need for a deeper and more structural intervention to address existing inequalities. It will be essential to monitor the implementation of these measures and evaluate their real impact on workers and on the social security system as a whole
