Question 14208 — pensions: general

Summary

Mr. Dominique Potier alerts the Secretary of State, to the Minister of Action and Public Accounts, of the growing exasperation of the 17 million retirees (source DREES, Retirees and Retirements, 2018 edition) in the face of the accumulation of measures restricting their purchasing power. The average monthly amount of a direct pension (including increase for children) is 1,294 euros net per retiree and a third of retirees receive a total pension of less than 1,000 euros gross monthly. After a 1.7% increase in the CSG on January 1, 2018, the Council of Ministers validated the provisions of the finance bill aimed at not increasing pensions in 2018 and only increasing those for 2019 and 2020 by 0.3%, while at the same time inflation is rising again (1.7% today and 2% for the year). 2019). As a reform of the pensions, it is essential to contain the decline in the purchasing power of the poorest retirees. The Observatory of Inequalities showed in 2013 that on average a retired executive received a total amount of retirement pensions 2.4 times higher than a worker and that the gap in life expectancy without disability between senior executives and workers was 10 years in favor of the former. He therefore asks him to ensure that he maintains a decent purchasing power of retirees taking into account the link between the arduousness of the work, life expectancy and the duration of contributions in order to allow everyone to benefit in good conditions from a retirement allowing them to continue to play a role in society, within families, in associations and more generally in civil society.
