Bitter Almond Ffpa Fcc

Women, pension double-edged


can not be a taboo, the retirement age for women. But we must be realistic, take care of children, the elderly, the sick, they must be recognized, or at least should be provided to them an alternative if they are asked to work harder. This is the gist of some arguments, the hypothesis, to raise the age for women to more than 60 years. The Press reported today on Chiara Saraceno, a sociologist and scholar of the Status of Women.
I was particularly reflect his reasoning: "The lengthening of life expectancy is not just about the fact that you can work longer, but also the fact that it is more likely that workers in mature they are faced with questions of care of the older population. "I myself, in favor of a measure of justice and equality, such as raising the age for women who live longer, I had to stop and think on this: the increase in life expectancy also means that older people live longer and, inevitably, get sick more and have more need of assistance. We must not forget that.
The other side of the coin then is to ensure better services to families (which often means women): "Investment is needed - adds Saraceno - all or a substantial portion of what is saved by raising the retirement age of women in services di cura sia dei più piccoli che delle persone in condizione di salute fragile e di non autosufficienza". E' giusto quindi che la parità sia a doppia faccia e che tutta la società se ne faccia carico.
