In the pension reform desired by the government, certain specific cases will open the right to the validation of quarters. MoneyVox recaps.
In the mouth of the government, which this week presented its pension reform project three weeks before the planned debates in the National Assembly and the Senate, these are quarterly increases that make the text fairer.
Clearly, the periods of parental leave will be taken into account to leave with the long career scheme, just like people who put their job aside to help their loved ones (elderly parents as young children, sick or handicapped) will be able to use this argument to validate quarters. According to the words formulated by Elisabeth Borne, the legal retirement age will increase from 62 to 64 by 2030. It will then be necessary to justify 43 years of contributions or 172 quarters.
Parental leave in addition to maternity leave
With the reform desired by the government, parents who will have benefited from parental leave to raise their children may include up to a maximum of four quarters in their retirement calculation. According to the government, this concerns women in 90% of situations.
Today, the birth or adoption of a child already entitles you to additional quarters. For employees under the general scheme, each child is entitled to four additional quarters for the mother to which are added four trimesters for the education of children. Since 2010, parents have been able to share the four quarters granted in return for adoption and education.
Retirement: very bad news if you were born in 1965 and 1966
According to the Prime Minister, and depending on the particular case, four out of ten people will be able to benefit from early retirement and will therefore not have to work until the age of 64.

Caregivers taken into account
Among family carers, many are forced to reduce or interrupt their professional activity, with negative consequences on their pension rights, the government believes. Consequently, an old-age insurance for carers should see the light of day and will allow a wider validation of quarters for more carers so as not to lose any pension rights in such a situation. This new device should benefit 40,000 new people.

The TUCs integrated into the device
If student jobs or internships will always be taken into account in the count of quarters, collective utility work (TUC) is now integrated into the system.
Works of collective utility (TUC) was an assisted contract created in France in 1984 under the government of Laurent Fabius, and repealed in 1990 with the introduction of the Solidarity Employment Contract (CES).
