Suspension de la réforme des retraites : qui sont les 3,5 millions de Français concernés ?

Overview

  • The plan would also hold the full-rate contribution requirement at 170 quarters until January 1, 2028.
  • The measure chiefly affects people born from 1964 onward, with the prime minister estimating about 3.5 million beneficiaries.
  • The government projects a cost of €400 million in 2026 and €1.8 billion in 2027, to be compensated through savings.
  • The suspension concerns only the age and contribution-duration parameters and would pause rather than repeal the 2023 reform.
  • The proposal follows an understanding with the Socialist Party and includes a conference with social partners, as unions split with the CFDT welcoming the move and the CGT urging a permanent block at the frozen level.
