What is the disability pension
The disability pension is an INPS benefit intended for those who can no longer carry out any work activity. To get it you need at least5 years of contributions, which3 in the last ones 5 years. A requirement that becomes difficult to achieve if the career is fragmented.
The risk of discontinuity
Those who change jobs often risk accumulating contribution "gaps".. Fixed-term contracts, periods of inactivity or atypical collaborations can reduce social security coverage. Without continuity, the disability pension may become unattainable.
The problem does not only concern the new generations. Even mature workers, in unstable sectors or with discontinuous careers, they may find themselves without the minimum requirements.
Cosa fare
- Monitor your contribution position onINPS social security drawer.
- Evaluate the voluntary contribution to cover the uncovered periods.
- Focus on regular contracts and job continuity.
In conclusion, job hopping tells of a fluid and dynamic job market, but flexibility must not turn into vulnerability. Without attention to contributions, the risk is of finding ourselves without protection precisely when we need them most.
