According to the new rules the basis of calculation of benefits will no longer be related to earnings but to past contributions. The total amount of contributions paid during working life will be divided by a 'conversion coefficient' ranging from 4.719 per cent (at the age of 57) to 6.13 per cent (at 65). This coefficient will be reviewed every ten years and potentially adjusted in line with demographic and economic development. The rate of contribution payable will be reviewed annually on the basis of changes in GDP. The pension itself will be inflation-proofed and a state-financed social allowance will continue to be paid to those not eligible for a contributory benefit. The system will remain pay-as-you-go but actuarial criteria will in the future govern the determination of benefits.

Tartassati is another popular metaphor which started to circulate during the 1980s and which can be translated as 'the tax harassed'. It refers to all those categories which, for various reasons (including the technical impossibility of evading taxes on their incomes), the tax burden is especially heavy

The data for 1992 are drawn from a comprehensive Eurobarometer survey on social protection. According to this survey, the degree of welfare 'minimalism' tended to be significantly higher in Italy than in the other EC countries (Ferrera, EC Citizens and Social Protection, note 10). With respect to the original source, the data included in Table 1 are slightly different: some statistical corrections have been made to neutralise differences in definitions.
