The ISET Policy Institute has been closely monitoring and assessing the progress of pension reform for years. Respectively, we have reviewed the proposed changes and identified substantial risks for the effective organizational structure of the pension fund and the welfare of over 1.5 million participating citizens.

On 28 March, Director of the Pension Agency, Giorgi Danelia, and their Chief Investment Officer, Giorgi Melikidze, visited ISET and held a seminar for students and ISET Policy Institute representatives entitled: "Save for yourself, save for the future! - Money Week".

Over the past months, we have been asked several times questions about the upcoming pension reform. Here are some answers.

The objective of this initiative is to complement the mission of ReforMeter by providing an in-depth analysis of government reform efforts through policy briefs, innovative indicators and other analytical products.

On Thursday, April 6, ISET hosted Professor Giorgio Brunello, who delivered a seminar for the ISET community. The title of his presentation was “Does Delayed Retirement Affect Youth Employment? Evidence from Italian Provinces”. According to his research, pension reforms that raise the minimum retirement age increase the pool of senior individuals aged 50+ who are not eligible to retire from the labor market.
