The French government is planning to raise the official retirement age by two years as part of a long-delayed reform to the country’s pension system that prompted labor unions to call for nationwide strikes next week

. New legislation will require French citizens to work until 64, from 62 currently, to qualify for a full pension. From September this year, the regular retirement age will increase by three months a year until 2030. The higher retirement age should tackle a pension funding deficit, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne told reporters on Tuesday as she laid out the reforms.

Workers in France have been squeezed by rising food and energy bills, and thousands took part in mass demonstrations against the cost of living on the streets of Paris last year. Strikes by workers demanding higher pay caused fuel pumps to run dry across the country a few months ago. The French will still retire earlier France spends more than most other countries on state pensions at nearly 14% of GDP in 2018, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

They’ve just watched the UK gov walk over the UK with pension changes so they think the French will accept this. NO because they are prepared to fight !!!! People will fight and unions will fight !!!50sWomen have been fighting for years with little back up from this country.

I think retirement age should be a function of life expectancy and healthcare availability.

Great, now all I need is some money to dump into a 401k Good news for you people who don't need money before age 73. The Federal match is unconstitutional: it is illegal to take after-tax govt revenue and incentive a tax-deferred account that is 100% taxed on distributions. Why force 401ks by making it automatic? It has penalties, restricts choices, and 100% of each $1 distribution is taxed!
