The retirement age in Italy 🇮🇹
The standard retirement age in Italy is 67 years old for both men and women.
Key Retirement Requirements
• Old-Age Pension (Pensione di vecchiaia): Requires reaching age 67 and having at least 20 years of social security contributions.
• Early Retirement (Pensione anticipata): Allows you to retire regardless of age if you have completed a minimum number of years of contributions:
• Women: At least 41 years and 10 months of contributions.
• Men: At least 42 years and 10 months of contributions.
• Alternative Early Options: Workers who began paying contributions entirely under the modern contribution-based system (sistema contributivo) may be eligible to retire at 64 years old with a lower contribution threshold, or via specific social safety nets like APE Sociale.
According to the OECD Country Notes for Italy, Italy links its retirement age to life expectancy, and long-term projections suggest the statutory age could gradually rise toward 70 in coming decades.
