  • President Emmanuel Macron braved strikes and street protests to force through a deeply unpopular reform in 2023 raising France's retirement age by two years to 64, saying it was the only way to keep the generous but costly pension system afloat.

The article from AOL News discusses the ongoing pension reform battle in France, where President Emmanuel Macron's government is pushing for changes to the pension system. The proposed reforms include raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 and increasing the number of years one must work to receive a full pension. These changes have sparked significant public and political opposition, leading to widespread protests and strikes across the country. Critics argue that the reforms disproportionately affect low-income workers and women, who often have career breaks. The government insists the changes are necessary to ensure the pension system's financial sustainability amidst an aging population. The situation has escalated tensions, with unions and opposition parties vowing to continue their resistance, potentially leading to further disruptions in public services and economic activity.
