The article investigates the contribution of social partners to activeageing in Italy. Until recent times the country relied upon a system ofunemployment benefits and early retirement schemes that allowed oldemployees to leave the labour market. This is the reason why neither theGovernment, nor the social partners are provided with a comprehensivestrategy of active ageing. The Monti pension reform (2011) has madenearly impossible to retire before the age of 60 and, because of the lackof public resources, the Fornero law (2012) has encouraged social partnersto build up funds to retrain employees and to accompany to retirementthose who are old and unable to find a new job. In recent timesnation-wide collective agreements have spontaneously begun to set downprovisions that reflect an increasing attention for older workers: flexibletime arrangements and partial retirement schemes for older workersshould be experimented in the near future, especially if the legislatoroffers incentives; health and long term care insurances are becoming increasinglywidespread. Also at the enterprise level social partners are negotiatingwelfare and organisational arrangements that are focused uponolder workers. Nevertheless, the Italian experience keeps being still underdevelopedin a comparative perspective (some German, French andSwedish examples are briefly taken into account), mainly because of thepersistent lack of strategy by the policy makers.
