The pension reform, presented by Elisabeth Borne on Tuesday, is a game-changer for many workers who were about to leave.
To benefit from a full pension, they will have to work a few additional months, like Pascale, a 62-year-old nurse, whom Europe 1 met.
For Pascale, the year 2023 was to start with a great moment: her retirement.
Initially scheduled for October, he could even have intervened as early as February thanks to the accumulation of his overtime.
However, the pension reform unveiled Tuesday by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, which comes into force next summer, has completely reshuffled the cards for this 62-year-old nurse.
“I still have the form but I feel the days pass”
Workers born in September 1961 will be the first to be affected.
Pascale, who has been practicing her profession since the age of 22, is one of them and will therefore have to work a few more months.
She therefore chose to take the lead: "I went to see my employer asking him to work four more months. Because at the start, the government was talking about four more months and not three. I anticipated, it was a bit of a gamble but I couldn't see myself leaving and finally coming back to work," she says.

To obtain her full pension, Pascale must therefore play extra time in a physically demanding profession.
"We are asked to work more and more. I am still in good shape but I feel the days go by anyway", she admits.
If it was first necessary to digest this change of program, she now prefers to have fun.
“Can you imagine three starting drinks before you really leave?!” she exclaims.
Next June, the hour of retirement will sound for good.
