This is one of the big projects that Emmanuel Macron was unable to complete during this five-year term: pension reform.
The Head of State wants to raise the legal retirement age to 65.
A decline that will take place gradually, over ten years.
He gave more details yesterday during the presentation of his program in Aubervilliers.
“The reform that I want to carry out is to increase the legal age gradually with a system of progressive quarters, up to 65 years old”, confirmed Emmanuel Macron yesterday during the presentation of his program in Aubervilliers.
The president said he wanted to carry out a reform "different from that of 2017 because the macroeconomic conditions are not the same".
Achieving a "just system"
The Head of State first confirmed that the reform would take into account long careers, ie workers who started their careers very young.
He also wants to put on the negotiating table the question of the reality of jobs and tasks to have a fairer system: this is called arduousness, but he has deliberately avoided the term.

Revision of the employment-retirement combination
This reform will also tackle, he said, unemployment among seniors.
A desire that lacked precision according to Frédéric Sève, national secretary in charge of pensions at the CFDT.
"We are far from the description of a device. It is indeed a shame to deprive ourselves of the experience of 60 years. Now, that does not tell us how we convince companies to keep these employees," he explains. he at the microphone of Europe 1.
Another project that the candidate Macron wants to tackle: the revision of the mechanism of accumulation employment-retirement.
He wants to go further on this device which allows retirees to work while receiving their pension
