Nivel record al numărului angajaților de peste 60 de ani din Franța

The employment rate for French individuals aged 60 to 64 has reached a 50-year high, driven by pension reforms. The rate increased to 44.4%, up 2.1 percentage points from last year. This change contrasts with a historical decline in employment for this age group, which hit a low of 10.8% in 2001. The rise is partly attributed to the 2023 pension reform that raised the retirement age from 62 to 64, encouraging longer workforce participation. Despite this progress, France still lags behind many European countries in senior employment rates, highlighting ongoing challenges related to an aging population and pension system pressures.
