    More details for those who don’t know:

    https://travail-emploi.gouv.fr/retraite/projet-pour-l-avenir-de-notre-systeme-de-retraite/

    “The legal retirement age will be progressively increased […] It will thus be set at 63 years and 3 months in 2027 […] then reach the target of 64 years in 2030. To receive a full-rate pension, it will be necessary, as of 2027, to have worked 43 years. […] As today, people retiring at 67 will still automatically receive a full-rate pension, i.e., without a discount, even if they have not worked 43 years.”

      The pension system is such a scam in the era of capitalists fudging the employment figures by expanding education, etc. I started working at 15, but I didn’t start ‘working’ for a lot, lot longer. I’ll have to work for so many extra years to get a ‘full’ pension compared to someone whose life followed the ‘expected’ (read: bourgeois, false promise) model.

      Even if someone goes straight through with a three year degree, they won’t ‘start’ ‘work’ until they’re 21, thus losing 5 or 6 years of contributions that they could’ve got if further and higher education were seen as part and parcel of working life. I can’t fathom why people accept that ‘Saturday jobs’ don’t count as real jobs. I’m going to have the biggest smug grin when all these not-really-worker workers realise the system falls apart if they don’t turn up. The bourgeois framework tells us that they’re separate endeavours, as if people in education are just on holiday, and most of the populace just accepts it.
