Overview
- The Treasury’s latest long‑term report estimates a further three‑month increase in 2029, taking the old‑age threshold to 67 years and 6 months and the early retirement requirement to 43 years and 4 months for men, with one year less for women.
- These 2029 figures are projections rather than automatic changes, as final adjustments depend on Istat’s observed life‑expectancy data and subsequent government measures.
- The budget law already set phased rises before then: no change in 2026, then 67 years and 1 month for old‑age from 2027 and 67 years and 3 months from 2028, with early retirement rising to 42 years and 11 months for men in 2027 and 43 years and 1 month in 2028.
- Workers in strenuous occupations are excluded from the hikes, while military, police and firefighters face an additional month’s increase in 2028, another in 2029 and another from 2030.
- The government discontinued Quota 103 and Option Woman for 2025, while extending the Ape Sociale to 31 December 2026 for eligible categories at 63 years and 5 months.
