Yes that is entirely true, but you do not take in account that:
* The median average revenue is around 1200 euros per month!
* The pension is financed partly through the debt (one third)
* There are nearly as much retirees as workers (16M vs 17M)
* We are 65 M people and our "social security" is based on 17M people who are payed a misery? The system will bankrupt soon.
- roma1n 8y agoThe median salary is around 1800 euros for workers[1]. Not sure where you got the 1200 euros figure from. [1] https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/3135908 https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/3135908
- JPLeRouzic 8y agoNo that is not the median salary but average salary: In addition they are increased as if their were for 1600h/year (équivalent temps plein)
- roma1n 8y agoNo, that is the median EQTP. The average is around 2250 euros/month EQTP.
