The farewell of Quota 100 pushes the great exodus – Chronicle

the 2021 it will be the last year of Quota 100. Since 2022, with all due respect to Matteo Salvini (who threatens fire and fire against the annulment of the pension advance: “Woe to those who think of returning to the fornero law!”), experimentation triennial that allows the exit of the work with 62 years old me 38 of the contributions will end. In the coming months, the Ministry of Labor, with its study commissions and through talks with the union, will have to give birth to new flexibility solutions to prevent the 5-year ‘ladder’ from starting in January 2022 to those who want to quit their jobs.

Maneuver 2021, the OK of the Chamber with 298 yes. Now in the senate

In pole position, the hypotheses were consolidated for months, including the one most appreciated by the Ministry of Economy, the so-called Odds 102, which raises the age requirement to 64 years, leaving 38 years of contributions unchanged.

But it is not the only recipe in the field: at stake are also the proposals that include sanctions (from 63 years but with 1-2% less for each missing year compared to 67), from the contribution of exits differentiated in relation to the work carried out. (burdensome activities established for the social monkey), a suggestion of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte himself, to other more complex variants, such as those proposed by Senator dem Tommaso Nannicini.

In fact, the same Budget law By 2021 it should have contained a broad menu of social security interventions, starting with Quota reform 100. But the pandemic took over and everything was postponed. And so in the maneuver was the extension to 2021 of the social option Ape and woman, as well as the so-called “iso-pension” (which is used by companies to encourage subsidized layoffs). The delicate and complex chapter of exceeding Quota 100 from 2022 and of the methods to avoid the ladder has been postponed for the next maneuver.

But the announced end of Quota 100, along with other factors such as the dramatic economic crisis, could pave the way for a real massive leak towards retirement for those who reach the required thresholds (38 years of contributions and 62 years of age) next year. First of all me born in 1959, but also those between the promotion of ’58 and that of ’55, which will celebrate 38 years of contributions in the coming months. In total, according to estimates by unions and professionals, it could be approximately 300 thousand early departures. Which, added to old age and other retirements, could raise the number of exoduses from work to 650-700 thousand, about 150-200 thousand workers more than in 2019. With a significant concentration in the sectors with the highest risk of dismissal (tourism , commerce, services) or those of greatest suffering (school, health, law enforcement).

The issue – they insist from the union – is that, due to the alarm derived from the end of the mechanism and theuncertainty about the future, other exceptional factors are added such as the economic emergency caused by the pandemic. The 60-year-old private workers who today find themselves in layoffs, with the prospect of another year of a social safety net or with layoff (once the lockdown is over), are eager to be able to collect their pension.
