Question 10891 — pensions: general

Summary

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the concerns that have been raised among widows and widowers and, more broadly, in public opinion, by the debate on a possible calling into question of the survivor's pension system, following the work of the High Commission for Pension Reform. All schemes combined, 4.4 million people are affected by reversion, including 1 million, mostly women (96%), do not have any other retirement pension of their own. The survivor's pension system contributes significantly to reducing inequalities between men and women, the latter representing 89% of beneficiaries and receiving pensions on average 40% lower than those of men due to shorter or interrupted careers. In particular, they enable the surviving spouse to cope with charges which are not halved upon the death of the spouse. This is why he asks him to specify the Government's intentions regarding the sustainability of the survivor's pension system, any possible reform projects to which it could be subject and the objectives of these projects.
