Pension at birth, the Meloni government is thinking of a fund for each newborn: how it works and who will pay the money

The Italian government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, is considering introducing a 'pension fund at birth' modeled after Germany's Frühstart-Rente system. The proposal would involve an initial state contribution followed by voluntary contributions from parents and family members until the child reaches adulthood. The goal is to create an additional pillar of social security to ensure more dignified pensions for future generations. The idea was discussed by Labor Minister Marina Calderone during an interview with Corriere della Sera, who described it as 'useful and appropriate.' The plan would be managed by the National Institute for Social Security (INPS), with oversight from the Commission for the Protection of Investors (Covip). While the proposal remains under consideration, it reflects broader concerns about demographic challenges and longer career spans affecting future pension systems.
