At what age can we retire?
The government wants to move quickly and is counting on a departure at 65 against 62 today with the entry into force of the project measures in the summer of 2023. The showdown promises to be fierce between the government and the deputies but for the quaestor of the National Assembly, Éric Woerth, "there will be no need for 49.3" to have the reform adopted.
The pension reform is the flagship reform of Emmanuel Macron's five-year term.
If we still do not know at what age the French will be able to retire, 63, 64 or 65, we know that the government will start by displaying the highest level: 65 years against 62 years today.
The subject will soon be tackled by Elisabeth Borne who will present her project to the unions and employers in mid-December.
