Press Release: OECD Urges France to Keep Older Workers on the Job

A new OECD report, ' Ageing and Employment Policies in France', notes that the pension system reforms made two years ago have had little effect. Older workers are still quitting the workforce early. Less than half of them move directly from a job to a pension. The rest move to shadowy areas of pre-retirement such as public or private early retirement schemes and unemployment insurance, from which they rarely return to jobs.
