Despite the registered protests, the French government did not give up. Emmanuel Macron had proposed delaying the retirement age from 62 to 64 years.
Thousands of French people took to the streets to express their rejection of the proposal, but this did not have an echo since the proposal was finally approved.
France pushes retirement age back to 64 despite protests
Another part of the measure includes bringing forward to 2027 the increase in the years of contribution necessary to collect a full pension (from 42 to 43).
This was due to the increase in life expectancy as well as the number of retirees compared to active workers.
This problem is not alien to other countries that also view with concern a possible imbalance in their pension systems. In the European Union, the average retirement age is around 64.3 for men and 63.5 for women, so France is not above the general average.
Although there are countries such as Lithuania that the minimum age is between 62 and 60 years, according to gender, the trend is that it continues to rise. These are the ages in various European countries:
| Country | Age |
|---|---|
| Germany | 65 or 67 years, according to the year of birth |
| Austria | 65 years |
| Belgium | 65 years |
| Denmark | 66 years |
| Spain | 65 years |
| Ireland | 66 years |
| Netherlands | 67 years |
| Sweden | 65 years |
Like Ecuador, in some countries you can request retirement when you complete a certain number of contributions to Social Security. At the Latin American level, there are few countries that are below the average of 65 years.
| countries | Age |
|---|---|
| Argentina | Men: 65 years and women: 60 years |
| bolivian | Men: 58 years and women: 55 years |
| Brazil | Men: 65 years and women: 60 years |
| Colombia | Men: 62 years and women: 57 years |
| Chili | Men: 65 years and women: 60 years |
| Costa Rica | Men and women: 65 years |
| The Savior | Men: 60 years and women: 55 years |
| Mexico | Men and women: 65 years |
| Paraguayan | Men and women: 60 years |
| Peru | Men and women: 65 years |
| Venezuela | Men: 60 years and women: 55 years |
In the case of Ecuador, a person can retire if they reach 40 years of importation, while if they reach 60 years they must have 30 years of contributions. (YO)
