Even without reform, the average retirement age is above the minimum fixed by law and even increases with the years.

While he had stagnated at 62.8 years in 2019 and 2020, he thus settled at 62.9 years in 2021, said Thursday the National Old Age Insurance Fund (Cnav).

This average concerns the approximately 650,000 new “direct right” pensioners (excluding survivors) from the general scheme.

The trend at work since 2007 therefore continues: in fourteen years, the average retirement age has increased by 2 years, with sudden accelerations under the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy, then a slower progression under François Hollande and Emmanuel Macron , interspersed with several stagnations (2010, 2013, 2016 and 2020).

Enough to feed the debate on a possible pension reform, relaunched by the president-candidate Emmanuel Macron, who wishes to push back the legal age of departure from 62 to 65 years old.

A proposal which, however, plans to maintain an early departure for “long careers”, from which more than 125,000 new retirees benefited in 2021.
