CALL FOR EVIDENCE. Are you 55 or older and having trouble finding a job? tell us

The pension reform provides for the postponement of the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 years. But in France, only 35.5% of 60-64 year olds are still working, according to figures from the Ministry of Labor. After a certain age, the difficulties in finding a job increase. Sometimes companies hesitate to hire seniors and prefer younger profiles. To better understand the obstacles that stand in the way of 55-64 year olds looking for a job, franceinfo is launching a call for testimonials. If you are 55 or older and having difficulty finding a job, we are interested in your experience.

Have you been made redundant, can no longer practice your profession, have you stopped your activity or are you unemployed? How are you doing in your job search? In which sector and since when are you looking for a job? What do the companies that refuse your application say to you? Respond to our call for testimonials and tell us about your situation. Do not forget to leave your contact details so that a journalist can possibly contact you in the context of a report. They will remain confidential.
