“I think that this should not concern all retirees […]it could be 40% of retirees,” she added.
“Spread the burden across the entire population”
“There are different taxes and contributions that could be considered on retirees who can afford it […] depending on the pension level,” Panosyan-Bouvet said. “It’s up for discussion, it could be 2,000 euros, it could be 2,500.” For the Minister of Labor and Employment, “financing social protection today falls too much on businesses and workers. »
“There comes a point where this burden must be better distributed across the entire population, especially for a risk which is that of dependence which mainly concerns the elderly, those who will enter a situation of dependency and in loss of autonomy,” she stressed.
-Regarding the option of 7 hours of additional work per year without pay, “we have to look with the social partners because it could be 10 minutes per week […] there are different applications depending on the branches,” said Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet, dismissing the idea of removing “a periodic day.”
