This is the essential topic of conversation at Medef summer universities at this time: the age from which one could retire with a full rate. The government could set it at 64. Too bad, the life expectancy in good health is also in France of almost 64 years (64.9 for the women, 62.6 for the men, figures 2017).
Does that mean that the French who will retire will not be fit, and therefore will not be able to enjoy it? Response elements.
All small sores are taken into account . On paper, that's for sure, it does not please: with a life expectancy in good health at 64 years and a total life expectancy around 83 years, it's almost 20 years of retirement not necessarily very funny. .. But rest assured. The question that determines the life expectancy in good health indeed takes into account all the small boils: a persistent tendency to the elbow which prevents to play tennis, osteoarthritis at the ankle which prohibits the hike or disorders musculoskeletal conditions that prevent full-time work.
Situations much less serious than what we have in mind, loss of autonomy, total inability to move, or even to go to the bathroom. Better: if the indicator took into account only the heavy pathologies, and well life expectancy in good health would still be 80 years for women and 75 for men. Nothing to thwart a peaceful retreat, therefore!
