  Most experts say there's no structural problem in the long run, the system will run a small deficit but that's something entirely manageable without moving the retirement age.
  Besides, please note that 62 is the age when you can legally retire but not when you can have your full pension which is 67 after 42 full years of working. Most people do not retire with their full rights.
context: Here in France strikes and protests are on the rise, people want the government to withdraw its pension reform plan that would move retirement age from 62 to 64.
  More than 1 million people turned out nationwide according to police sources, 2,8 million according to CGT (one of the biggest unions of the country). In Paris alone, between 87 000 and 500 000 people protested this afternoon. This is the biggest protest day in the country since 1995, maybe even 1968. >
  
  Bah normal c'est la France quoi, les grèves. Pas de quoi en faire un post >
  
  Crazy that they're striking over retirement at 64. I'm sympathetic, but there's also a dwindling young population and extended retirement period due to longer life expectancy. I'm not sure what the solution is but it will have to be some sort of painful compromise most likely
