Zangrillo Signs Implementation Guidelines for Raising Retirement Age to 70
Rome, January 20, 2025 – Minister of Public Administration Paolo Zangrillo has signed the implementation guidelines for the law raising the retirement age to 70.
The guidelines provide detailed instructions on how the new law will be applied, including the eligibility criteria for employees who want to continue working beyond the current retirement age of 65.
Employees who meet the following criteria will be eligible to work until they are 70 years old:
- Be in good health and have a clean disciplinary record
- Have at least 20 years of service
- Have never previously taken advantage of early retirement schemes
Employees who do not meet these criteria will be able to retire at the age of 65, but will not be eligible to receive any additional pension benefits for working beyond that age.
The guidelines also include provisions for transitional arrangements for employees who are close to retirement age. Employees who are within five years of retirement age will be able to choose to retire at 65 or continue working until they are 70.
The new law is part of the government’s efforts to address the demographic challenges facing Italy. The country’s population is aging, and the number of people reaching retirement age is increasing. This is putting a strain on the pension system and making it difficult to find qualified workers.
The government believes that raising the retirement age will help to alleviate these challenges by keeping older workers in the labor force and reducing the burden on the pension system.
The new law is expected to come into effect on January 1, 2026.
