Barometers Retirement always lead to the same conclusion: recent or not reform, the French advance and groped hardly understand anything the current system.
The latest pension reform, published in the Official Journal January 24, 2014 , she has had a positive impact on the French ? To believe two barometers published on March 19 , the text was not convinced , like that of François Fillon in 2010, which had declined the legal age of retirement from 60 to 62 years.
1 French 2 has no idea of the amount of the future pension
* The first study shows that nearly 50 % of respondents are unable to determine what the amount of their pension. A state of affairs that concern , since 63 % think it will not reveal itself to meet their financial needs. 77 % even believe that they will need to find other sources of income when the time comes .
A second barometer only emphasizes the workings , complex , the French pension system . Despite the fact that 60% of respondents agree that the government has improved by creating the career record (41%) and developing custom websites by pension funds (19%) , 80% of French still feel uninformed. In detail, 72% do not find clear system , 71% even consider unfair.
Simulators implausible retirement
In view of the number of retirement simulators now available on the web , one of them , Simul – Retraite.fr , endeavored to obtain the opinion of French on the new support tools . Paradoxical result , if the interviewees acknowledge having ever used , they do not trust them however ! Thus , only 14% are “reliable” a simulator that gives an estimate in 3 clicks and 20 seconds. And the expectation is high: 97% of respondents considered abnormal that governments are unable to provide a retirement calculator official until 2017.
The results of the two barometers unveiled on March 19 confirm those studies that preceded them : our retirement system is too complicated for French . To remedy this, these ( 80%) would support a merger of all cases , including those of civil servants .
* Study conducted by Harris Interactive for the consulting firm Deloitte, was conducted among 4,000 Internet users aged 25 to over 65 years (32% of retirees) from 20 November to 3 December 2013 .
