Pensions, INPS: non-EU citizens pay 10.8 billion, receive 1.2 billion

“Non-EU citizens contribute 10.8 billion in contributions out of a total amount of 160 billion. Against this, non-EU citizens benefit from pension benefits for just 1.2 billion out of approximately 100 billion paid by the Institute”. This was said by Pasquale Tridico, INPS president, speaking at the conference ‘Italy, pensions and mobility: stories of departures and returns’. “Non-EU citizens – he observes – contribute more to the labor market than they receive in terms of pension and non-pension benefits”. Among the data provided, Tridico highlights that “the pensions eliminated in Italy in the first year of the pandemic increased by 15, 4%, while the three-year figure is equal to 8.2%. The trend of current pensions – he explains – both in Italy and abroad has been decreasing for several years. In the last two, unfortunately, the pandemic has also affected which led to an important increase in the eliminated pensions “. “While in Italy – warns Tridico – the elimination of pensions in payment takes place, as a rule, very shortly after the event, abroad, especially in non-EU countries, the eliminations are consolidated after verification of the existence in life that , for technical reasons, it takes longer “.
