Il Sole 24 Ore, hypothesis of increasing the maximum reduction for the hiring of young people and mothers

On the table of measures to be included in the budget, we are also working on the hypothesis of increasing the maximum deductions foreseen for the hiring of certain categories of workers, with preferential treatment for young people. This is what Il Sole 24 Ore writes in today's edition, underlining that "the discount could reach up to 140-150% for the hiring of new employees under a certain age threshold, which could be set at 35 years. And it would become even higher, up to 180%, when young mothers sign the contract".

A rule on maximum deductions has existed since 2024 and stops at 120% or 130% in some cases of workers deserving of particular protection. From a practical point of view, writes the newspaper, "it would be an additional option added to an already existing and operational benefit; with the advantage, therefore, of not having to wait a long time for implementation, thus allowing the stimulus to be activated as early as the beginning of 2027".
