The Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, detailed this Wednesday the revaluation of the pensions of current and future retirees, specifying that among the latter, “40,000 more people each year” will pass the milestone of 85% of the minimum wage.
“Thanks to this reform (…), 1.8 million retirees (currently, editor’s note) will see their pension revalued”, half of whom “will have a revaluation of between 70 and 100 euros” and “you even have 125,000 to go up to the maximum of 100 euros of revaluation ”, declared Olivier Dussopt on France inter.
“That means we have a total of 250,000 additional retirees in our country who will cross the threshold of 85% of the minimum wage among current retirees,” he continued. “And when we look at future retirees”, of the 800,000 new retirees a year, “200,000 will have a revalued pension” and among them, “a large third will have a revaluation of more than 70 euros”, detailed the minister.
“40,000 more people every year”
“When they tell me how many, thanks to this reform, will pass the milestone of 85% of the minimum wage? We have a forecast, it happened to me last night: 40,000 more people each year,” said Olivier Dussopt. “Why 40,000 out of 200,000? Because the ones that are going to be below 85% of the Smic are the ones with incomplete races,” he said.
The minister has stressed giving these figures with “caution: we are talking about a minimum pension for someone who has a full career”, pointing out that “no one is capable of saying how many insured will retire in 2024, in 2030, in 2035” with the rooms required. The Government had promised a minimum of 1,200 euros a month as a pension after a full career at the minimum wage, without specifying the number of people affected.
The 1,200 euros shown actually corresponds to 85% of the net Smic, currently 1,353 euros per month, but likely to revalue during the year to keep up with inflation.
