It does not change Female option, which should simply be extended for the whole of 2023. These are the rumors confirmed by several sources yesterday afternoon. The government has therefore reconsidered, renouncing the changes announced with the approval of the maneuver for 2023, that is, to link the possibility of early retirement for women to the number of children. The novelty, although not yet written even in the draft budget law issued by the Council of Ministers, had been explained as follows: in 2023 they would go into early retirement (but always with the entire allowance calculated with the contribution), female workers with 35 years of contributions and 58 years of age if mothers of two or more children; 59 years old, if with a child; 60 years old, in the absence of children. This scheme would have replaced the rules followed up to now, which allow early retirement with 35 years of contributions and 58 years of age (59 for self-employed women), with no other requirements.

The idea of ​​introducing the number of children to modulate the retirement age had been criticized from the outset, because it appeared to many to be unconstitutional and punitive to women who have no children. So much so that the reform announced by the Meloni government was immediately renamed the mother option. But yesterday, in fact, the reverse gear was engaged, under pressure from the Ministry of Labour. Now the ball passes to the Treasury for the verification of the coverage necessary in the event that the squeeze is lifted. Among the hypotheses, the postponement of the Tfs, severance indemnity, for women in the public sector who choose the women’s option. The confirmation of the Women’s Option is good news, according to Chiara Appendino (5 Stars), who criticizes the mess that is the emblem of the government’s incapacity. You applaud the Minister of Labour, Marina Calderone, the former minister Cesare Damiano (Pd): If the news is confirmed, one of the many obvious errors contained in the maneuver will be corrected.
