The French pension system presents a "
risk " of "
significant
" deficits
in the future, estimates the Pension Monitoring Committee (CSR) in an opinion published Thursday, calling for "
finding an answer
" without however taking sides for a measure of age.
A possible increase in the legal age or the contribution period could, however, be justified by "
presenting it as the price to pay
" so as not to increase contributions or "
reduce the standard of living
" of pensioners, or as a means of “
redeployment of budgetary resources
” towards “
other economic and social needs
”, suggests the CSR.
