The president confirmed, during his speech on Monday, April 17, that he refused to go back on the pension reform. The generation born in 1968 will therefore be the first not to be able to leave before the age of 64.
Seniors in companies are the first to be affected by the increase in the retirement age. From September, those who thought they could stop will have to work a little longer. In Tourcoing (North), in a metallurgy company there are many seniors. Of the 160 employees, 20% are over 55 years old. Mohamed Naimi was born in 1963. He will therefore have to work another nine months. Here, employees carry pieces of metal by force every day.
Extended contribution period
With the reform, the retirement age is gradually raised by three months each year. For example, if you were born in 1964, you can leave with a full pension at age 63. The 1968 generation will be the first to work until the age of 64 in 2030. In this company, the first concerned by the reform is the director. Born in 1961, he will have to work three more months. He welcomes the news calmly. The movement also accelerates the lengthening of the contribution period. For a full-rate retirement, it will therefore be necessary to have contributed for 43 years from 2027.
