Women are somewhat penalized by the postponement of the legal retirement age, acknowledged Monday the Minister responsible for Relations with Parliament Franck Riester, maintaining in return that other measures of the reform would be to their advantage.
They are a little penalized by the postponement of the equal age, we absolutely do not disagree, agreed the minister on the set of the program Audition publique (Public Snat / LCP / Le Figaro), questioned by journalists on the consequences of the reform for the careers of women, whose fate is at the heart of criticism from the unions and the left.
Women, in order to be able to reach their contribution period, use, and this is very legitimate, quarters validated by child. It allows them to more easily access the minimum quarters to be able to validate a retirement without discount, explained Mr. Riester. The quarters per child do not play on the postponement of the age, they play on the duration of contribution, he continued. On this point in particular, they are a little more impacted than men.

A declaration which goes in the direction of a document presented Monday by the government like the study of impact of its bill.
We learn that overall, between the increases in the legal age (64 years in 2030), the contribution period (accelerated to reach 43 years from 2027) and the various derogatory provisions, the average age of departure should go from just under 63 today to 64 and a half for future retirees who will leave in about twenty years. Without the reform, they would stop at 64.
A global effort of six months which covers strong disparities, in particular between men and women: the difference will in fact go from simple to double between the first (4 months) and the second (8 months) for the 1980 generation.

On the other hand, we have a device, which is their advantage, which is the device in particular for long careers of parental leave, which was not the case previously, said Franck Riester. Periods of parental leave will be taken into account in the future, according to the pension reform project, a fairer measure for women, according to the government.
This is something positive, argued Mr. Riester, also considering that the revaluation of the minimum pension will benefit women in particular.
