Forza Nazzjonali will give widows who worked at home (housewives) the right to enjoy the full pension obtained by their husbans before their death. (Today, these widows only enjoy 5 of that pension).
I fully subscribe to this proposal. A surviving spouse (often a woman who had devoted most of her life to raise the family) often finds herself in poverty after the death of her husband or partner. I agree that spouses should receive pensions as a unit.
Spouse pay tax as a unit. They should receive pensions as a unit. When one spouse dies the shock must not be compounded by life becoming financially difficult for the survivor.
Pension has been aid during working years of husband/ wife
Why not also widowers? if it is the wife who works (for various reasons e.g. disability of husband/illness) why shouldn't the husband receive the pension obtained by the wife? Remove gender bias please!
