Prodi's pension deal raises pressures
Article Abstract:
Prime Minister Romano Prodi of Italy altered a 2004 law that would raise the nation's retirement age from 57 to 60, instead opting for a gradual increase in the retirement age to 58, beginning in 2008. The change, which is expected to cost Italy billions of euros, is viewed as a concession to the country's labor unions and a move to hold together Prodi's nine-party government.
