To defend his reform of the pension system that is setting the streets on fire, the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, exhibited on public television a graph in which he compared the new retirement age that he wants to establish by decree (from 62 to 64 years) with the retirement ages in the rest of the European countries. At a glance, one can conclude: the French retirement age is (and will continue to be if the reform is applied) one of the lowest on the entire continent.
In the following map and the subsequent table you can consult the retirement ages in the majority of Europe countries, which in some cases are different in the case of men and women. And in other states, there is no fixed agebut the law establishes a years fork in which the worker can end his working life.
