A government pension is a fund into which a sum of money is added during the period in which a person is employed by the government. When the government employee retires they are able to receive periodic payments from the fund in order to support themselves. As the birth rate continues to fall and the life expectancy rises governments worldwide are predicting funding shortfalls for pensioners. Beginning inn 2012 all pensions were calculated on a contribution-based method rather than earnings-based, with the aim of reducing the number of high pension pay-outs. In the period from 2008 to 2060, Italian men and women are projected to enjoy the second longest life expectancy in Europe after France.
