PPension payments are based partly on estimated life expectancy and the study by Innsbruck’s Austrian University Professor Gottfried Tappeiner found that high-income, university-educated people were projected to live as much as seven years longer than the rest of the population./PPWhen that expectation is applied to Trentino’s 130 council members, this means they could receive 13.6% more than the rate used for regular citizens, or a potential difference of 90 million euros, the professor found./PPIn Italy, MPs and autonomous region representatives receive monthly pension payments ranging from 2,400 euros to 7,200 euros once they turn 65, whether or not they retire./PPThat means lawmakers who don’t retire at 65 may receive both a wage and a pension./PPA sparsely populated region bordering on Austria and Switzerland, Trentino Alto Adige is among the most developed and wealthiest regions in Italy and the EU./P
