Question 10887 — pensions: general

Summary

Mrs. Marietta Karamanli draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the situation of retirees. According to INSEE data, nearly 8% of retirees (2014 data) live below the poverty line. However, geographical disparities are significant and the averages cover inequalities. Since 1987, pensions paid by the general social security system have evolved according to inflation, which should guarantee their purchasing power. However, several factors lead to an estimated difference for the lowest-income retirees of between 4% and 6% between resources and purchasing power after a little over twenty years of retirement: changes in pensions paid by other schemes (Agirc, Arcco, civil service); increases in social security contributions and taxes; increase in constrained expenses (gas, electricity, fuel). Net purchasing power deteriorated in the mid-1990s for retirees who suffered increases in social security contributions on pensions and developments specific to the Agirc regime or the civil service regimes. She asks him what measures are envisaged to improve the trajectory of pensions, particularly modest or average, notably through the end of the freezing of pensions and the questioning of the increase in the CSG and this in a context of recovery in the global economy.
