Editorial: Le Monde

• The increase in retirement age has allowed improved employment rates of those aged 55-64, however, it has not solved the issue of maintaining them in employment until legal retirement age.
• Older workers face discrimination in hiring and many struggle to stay in the job market until they can receive their full pension.
• The greying of the French population should motivate a change in the position of older workers within companies.
• Companies prefer to recruit young people even though they support the raise in retirement age.
• Increasingly, maintaining employment past 50 becomes a challenge, which can lead to unemployment and precariousness.

Conclusion: If we want French workers to work longer, it's necessary to lower barriers to hiring older workers, correct biases in hiring algorithms, and possibly set age-based quotas.
