Retirements
As generations of workers in France continue to retire with life expectancies that are highly superior to those of preceding generations, the numerical balance between the economically active and inactive subsets of the French population is projected to change. For 100 people age 20-64, the number of people over 65 will rise from 38 in 2023 to 50 in 2040. This numerical change will give increasing visibility to differences in people’s situations. What are the characteristics, aspirations, and life perspectives of current and future generations of retirees? A concomitant question is how the living conditions of currently aging generations will evolve, and what their healthy life expectancy will be when they reach retirement age. Last comes the question of career inequalities: how can France’s retirement system be adapted to cover all occupational, family, and health situations and trajectories in such a way as to ensure that it is both acceptable and sustainable?
