Pensions: survivors' pensions and women's quarters, two explosive subjects

With the increase in the retirement age, some mothers lose the benefit of the quarters granted during their career in respect of children.

On Sunday, the Prime Minister showed herself open to a discussion on a better use of these quarters, while certain deputies are already preparing to step up to the plate on the subject.

Two paths would be possible.

First solution, allow the sharing of quarters with the father, who would need it to reach his full rate.

For children born before 2010, splitting trimesters is not possible.

Since 2010, under the effect of laws in favor of parity, half of the trimesters can be allocated to one or the other of the parents, provided that they make their choice before the child is 4 years old.

If we harmonize the quarters for children, then we must also harmonize survivors' pensions, which remains the biggest discrimination between public and private
