France’s government has proposed raising the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030 in a major reform to the pension system.
PM Elisabeth Borne said the changes were necessary to prevent a major deficit in the system in the future.
Reforming pensions was one of President Emmanuel Macron’s main promises when he was first elected in 2017.
