   Another point not raised is the "inequality" of the pension calculation for the average worker and the beneficiaries of the Special Retirement plans. While Special Retirement plans (employees of nationalized companies and public servants) calculate pension amount based on the last 6 months of income, private sector employees have their pension calculated on the last 25 years. And of course wage contribution to pension is higher for private compared to public sector. Under the banner of Equality, Fraternity and Liberty, the French system hides much "special" status. How addressing this would help finance the system?

   Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

   Well explained, the best thing is investing your money rather than just leaving it in your bank accounts, where it ends up loosing it's value over time. I used to be a victim of this, until I met a financial advisor "Leticia Zavala Perkins" , she explained to me why I must invest my money and have my retirement planned. Now I can proudly say I make so much every week from my investment and my retirement account is growing bigger and better. I am not worried of getting older anymore.

   Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determines a lot of things, my parents both spent same number of years in the medical profession, my mom was investing through a financial advisor while my dad through the 401k. On retirement, my mom retired with about $5million, while my dad retired with roughly $3.8million.

    I reckon those fiery infernos are more accurately described as "riots". Lets not sugar coat them with the word "Protest"

    So the argument against Macron is “oh we had this idea in our heads that we didn’t have to work”. For fuck sake.

    Well, for the billionaires there is always more money to be handed out; but not for workers and pensioners. Balancing the books is always done by cutting in workers and pensioners, not in taxing correctly. Pls. do not perpetuate this fallacy of balancing the books: a country is not a company.

    They're dreaming, and already have high taxation on business.

    No just like all governments today take from the poor and leave the rich alone to make more money for themselves.

    Thank you for the video. It is refreshing to hear all the facts, so I can make a good judgement of the French protester. Prior to this, it came across as though they just weren’t happy to work any extra two years.

    as an American my sympathy for the French here is pretty low for a few reasons
    1 they still have colonies who help pay their bills and no one will help them retire
    2 Most of the world lacks both healthcare and a pension system let alone high quality either
    3 really really strong labor protections create unemployment and drive down productivity, most of the world has too few labor protections but France is a rare exception where they protect workers so much they stifle businesses lowering the income they have to work with
    4 Macron is simply right that something has to change because cleaver money tricks and economies of scale can't get over the fundamental issue that the ratio of people doing work to people consuming value is dropping. however, doing so in an undemocratic way is not something ill try to argue as good

    if you can't make it work at only 65 million people, you are in some serious problems when you get to 350 million people.

    As far as Macron is concerned, a simple act of raising the tax rate of his corporate buddies is not a preferred method for fixing its national 'expensive' pension fund system, digging his way into retiree's golden fund on benefit collection date is a less stressful political play for him.
