The Directorate for Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics (DREES), in partnership with Institut des politiques publiques (IPP), has published a DREES Report which measures differences in life expectancy according to the age at which a person starts their career and the age at which they reach the full pension age, taking into account the regulations resulting from the reforms. In other words, this study seeks to assess the impact of 40 years of reforms, from the 1970s to the 2000s, on reducing inequalities in the length of time spent in pensions.
Thirty years of reforms lowering the age at which people can retire on a full pension: what impact have they had on inequalities in the length of retirement?
