Italia crește vârsta de pensionare la 67 ani. Când va fi obligată România să procedeze la fel? Avertisment BNR • Newsweek România

Italy is raising its retirement age to 67, prompting concerns about Romania's future pension system. The Romanian pension fund faces significant deficits, with a projected increase in pensioners. As life expectancy rises and youth unemployment grows, Romania may need to follow Italy's lead. Currently, Romanian retirement ages are lower, and the contribution period is shorter than in Italy. The National Bank of Romania warns that without reforms, the pension system will become unsustainable, as the number of pensioners is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. Politicians have yet to address the necessary changes to the retirement age.
