Le differenze sociali nelle attese di vita. La necessità di un universalismo proporzionale

Italian public pension system will be automatically adjusted to the future variations of life expectancies at late adult age. But will people be healthy enough to work longer? The difference between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy should be considered. Furthermore, the difference between life expectancy and the actual life duration depends not only on random but also on social factors. Taking into account such features of the ageing process implies a reform of pension policies and a reformulation of the same universalism principle.
