At what age can we retire, and is it possible to work longer? The debate is raging between the different political parties. Testimonials from two employees approaching retirement.

One year from retirement, Sylvie Lanchas takes care of inventory management for a store. She benefits from a senior plan: an arrangement of her working time which allows her to continue at 80%, paid 85%. The company continues to contribute 100% for his retirement. “I lose a little in salary, but in quality of life, I did not think long!”she says.

For seniors who have lost their jobs, it is sometimes difficult to find work. At 58, Franck Sempastous comes out of two years of unemployment after an economic layoff. For three weeks, he prepares to become a store manager. “It’s almost a gratitude and a thank you, this work. (…) It’s almost a resurrection for me”, confides the latter. He is trained by employees younger than him. “Even more challenging” according to Julien, who trains him.
