As the presentation of the 2025 budget approaches, rumors concerning potential changes to the Italian pension system become more and more prevalent. The Meloni government, in fact, is trying to specify the policies that will be included in the new budget law, with a focus on pension reform. One of the most significant innovations could be the introduction of Quota 41 instead of Quota 103. This provision allows you to retire with 41 years of contributions, regardless of age. However, the proposal is being debated by the majority because it would impose a large expense on the state coffers, estimated at at least one billion euros annually. The expansion of the APE Sociale, which provides for early retirement at age 63 for workers in disadvantaged situations such as the unemployed, caretakers, and persons with impairments, appears to be confirmed. The Women's Option, which permits women to retire early after 35 years of contributions, is also expected to be retained, despite a decrease in requests in the first quarter of 2024. Another theory under consideration is a possible restriction on early retirement. It is proposed to extend the exit windows, raising the criteria to 43 years and 5 months for men and 42 years and 5 months for women. The political party Lega has already expressed resistance to this plan, preferring to focus on Quota 41. In the meantime, the opposition has criticized the government majority, accusing it of failing to accept reality.
