Reply to comment by Greedy-Creme-995 in France braces for fresh strikes, protests against Macron's pension reform by incredibleamazing

It's almost like raising the retirement age might be necessary in what I also assume is an aging country like pretty much every Western country.

Official reports actually show that the retirement system in France is fine.

They did the measure because they lowered industry taxes, it's written in the reform.

62 is way too early to retire. Are they forced to retire or can they work a few more years? If they can, they should get a higher monthly pension amount when they do retire.
