Franța înregistrează un nivel record al angajării persoanelor de peste 60 de ani, după reforma pensiilor

The employment rate of French individuals aged 60 to 64 has reached a 50-year high, influenced by the 2023 pension reform raising retirement age to 64. The employment rate for this age group is now 44.4%, up 2.1 percentage points from last year. This marks a significant turnaround from the declining trend observed since the 1970s, when the rate fell to a low of 10.8% in 2001. Despite this positive trend, France still ranks low in Europe for employment among seniors. The increase in senior workforce participation is closely monitored due to aging population concerns and pressures on pension systems across Europe.
