The updated list of categories of workers enrolled in the Fund can be found in Annex 1 of INPS Circular no. 83 of 20 May 2016 (included in Annex 1 of INPS Circular no. 155 of 20 October 2021).

Other information

Article 1 of Legislative Decree no. 182/1997 (resulting from the list given in art. 3 of Legislative Decree no. 708 of 16 July 1947, as amended by Law no. 2388 of 29 November 1952) had divided workers into two groups:

  • artistic and technical staff with an occasional or fixed-term employment relationship;
