Parliament Considers Lowering French Retirement Age to 60
French far-right party, the National Rally (RN) submitted a bill to the National Assembly proposing that individuals who started working before the age of 20 should be able to retire at the age of 60. The proposal aims to cover the payment of premiums between 40 and 42 years in order to retire according to the starting age of business life. The RN Group Spokesperson and MP Laure Lavalette shared the written statement of the party group on Twitter, where the proposal sparked mixed reactions. While some supported the bill, others pointed out that it could create a financial burden for the pension system. The proposal will now undergo a review process in the National Assembly, where its viability and impact on the French pension system will be evaluated. If passed, it could potentially benefit early starters in the workforce and provide them with an earlier retirement option.
