Govt at work to avoid pension 'social bomb' - Meloni

(see related) (ANSA) - ROME, MAY 30 - Premier Giorgia Meloni told trade unions on Tuesday that the government was working on "reinforcing the pension system" with a special focus on "future pensions". "We have to guarantee the stability of the system and avert the creation of a social bomb in the coming decades," she said at the meeting, according to sources.
    Demographic factors pose a challenge to the Italian pension system.
    Italy has an ageing population and declining birth rates, which means fewer young people are entering the labour market and paying into the pension system in the place of people who are retiring. (ANSA).
