Overview
- CGIL’s analysis projects more than 55,000 people could face months without income or contributions starting 1 January 2027.
- The 2026 Budget Law and MEF updates trigger automatic requirement increases of one month in 2027 and two more in 2028, with further rises projected from 2029.
- Those potentially exposed include about 23,000 in isopensione, roughly 4,000 under expansion contracts, and around 28,000 via bilateral solidarity funds.
- The union warns of gaps of about one month in 2027, two months in 2028 and up to four months from 2029 before pensions are payable.
- Government safeguards have not been announced, while some commentary disputes the scale of the risk and notes political fixes could still be adopted.
