  • IIRC (haven’t looked into the details recently) in France you can have full pension from 64yo IF you’ve worked every year from 18yo. You can retire earlier, but your pension will be cut down for each month not “cotisé” up to 64.

    I think years of high school don’t typically count, but there are ways to “convert” or “buy” those years back for the calculation of your pension. Parental leave also can be converted.

    So yes, the less you work, the longer it takes to unlock 100% of your pension funds.

    EDIT: I just checked. To be eligible for full pension at 64 in France (full pension is 50% of the average of the best 25 years salaries) you need to have “cotisé” for 498 or 516 months (depending on your year of birth). Missing months can be bought back, or you can take a lower pension.


  • To add insult to injury, supporters of the police officer raised a crowdfund. It is now above 1.5 million €.

    During the “gilets jaunes” protests, one participant boxed a riot police unit (in full riot suit) & got arrested. A crowdfund was opened to help him. The government cancelled the funds within 48 hours.

    The French government is sending the clear message that “it’s okay for French police to kill people; even better if they are minorities (arabs,muslims,…)” and they will always get the support of the state. Disgusting.
