Question 7657 — pensions: independent and special schemes

Summary

Mr. Antoine Vermorel-Marques draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the methods for calculating retirement pensions for self-employed workers, particularly artisans. To date, the calculation of the basic regime for artisans is based on the average of the best 25 years of net tax income, while for employees, it is based on the gross annual salary. In addition, contributions for supplementary plan are entirely the responsibility of self-employed workers, unlike employees, whose contributions are shared between the employer and the employee. This imbalance leads, for equal contributions, to often lower pension rights for craftsmen. These structural differences in the methods of calculating pensions are unfavorable to craftsmen, even though the current reforms aim to strengthen equity and sustainability of the system. In this context and with regard to the need to revalorize independent professions, he would like to know what measures the Government plans to implement to improve the fairness of the retirement system applicable to artisans.
