"Quota 102 and 104, between 2022 and 2023, would involve only about 10 thousand people. This is revealed by an analysis by the Welfare Observatory of the Di Vittorio Foundation and the National CGIL. An estimate that was obtained by projecting the data relating to those who have so far benefited from Quota 100 and assuming the new registry restrictions provided for by the new standard: 64 and 66 years.

"From our studies - says Ezio Cigna, head of public welfare of the national CGIL - 8,524 people would be involved in 2022 and 1,924 in 2023, given that many of the subjects who could perfect 'Quota 102' in 2022 and 'Quota 104' in 2023 have already accrued the requirement of 'Quota 100' at 31 December 2021 ".

In particular, explains the union leader: "in 2022 only people aged 64 or older could access 'Quota 102', that is, those born between 1956 and 1958 and with 38 years of contributions, not an extra contribution. otherwise they would have accrued 'Quota 100', not a contribution less otherwise they would not reach the contribution requirement, being 'Quota 102' a measure lasting only one year ".

"In 2023 - continues Cigna - only people who will be 66 years of age could use 'Quota 104', that is, born in 1957 alone and with 38 years of contributions, and who had not accrued this requirement in 2021 so as to be able to take advantage of Quota 100 ".

For the confederal secretary of the CGIL, Roberto Ghiselli, the proposal for 'Quota 102 and 104', if confirmed by the Government, would constitute a useless measure, which would give no answer.

The main point is not how to make the exit from 'Quota 100' more gradual, but how to reform the system as a whole ".

"For some time - Ghiselli recalls - we have jointly presented our Platform to the Government which provides for: an outgoing flexibility for everyone after 62 years of age or 41 years of contributions; interventions that take into account the specific conditions of women, unemployed, discontinuous workers and precocious, burdensome or strenuous workers; the introduction of a contributory pension guarantee for the youngest ".

"It is necessary - concludes Ghiselli - that the Government summons us in the coming days and declares its willingness to significantly increase the resources provided for in the next budget law for social security, currently equal to the 'symbolic' figure of 602 million, and to put forward proposals that take into account the contents of our single platform ".
