Pensions eliminated in the first year of the covid pandemic in Italy: + 15.4%
“The pensions eliminated in Italy in the first year of the pandemic they grew by 15.4%, while the three-year figure was 8.2% “. Pasquale Tridico. The number one ofInps he explained the numbers of this dramatic statistic during the conference “Italy, pensions and mobility: stories of departures and returns”. National Social Security Institute unfortunately he has seen his balance sheet improve at the cost of many lives lost. «The trend of pensions in force both in Italy and abroad has been decreasing for several years. In the last two, unfortunately, the pandemic has also had an impact, leading to a significant increase in pensions eliminated. While in Italy the elimination of pensions as a rule, payment takes place very shortly after the event, abroad, especially in non-EU countries, the eliminated ones are consolidated after the verification of the existence in life which, for technical reasons, has longer times ».
Pensions, Tridico (INPS): we pay 326 thousand abroad
Another data to be emphasized are the payments of annuities to and from abroad: i migrants who have paid contributions in Italy have led to an increase in the number of pensions paid in Asia and Africa, but also in Eastern Europe, with an average age much lower than that of retirees in America, or the rest of Europe. “Today we register an important number: 326 thousand pensions we pay abroad, but this number is far less than the number of pensioners who receive them from abroad. The figure for Germany alone, that is, the pensions that Germany pays to Italy, covers the net contribution that Italy makes for retirees abroad. A sign that today we are still massively discounting the contribution of the other destination countries of our migrations, Germany, Switzerland, but also some North American countries, France, England itself, with respect to those of the new migrations. “.
But be careful: “The greatest increase in the elimination of pensions paid abroad occurred in 2021, equal to 45.1% compared to 2019”, reads the report.
