    Assumimg four weeks in a month, that’s 2,064 weeks/43 years. In Mexico, you “only” need 1,250 weeks, or 25 years or work (although the pension is locked until you’re 65 years old.

    That’s an insane number.

      Thanks for doing the math. With that, it means a french worker must work every single month without any gap from 21yo to 64yo to be eligible for full pension. Literally live to work.

      Fun fact: french policitians (and some other specific work fields) “cotisent” months faster. Our deputies can get the full pension unlocked after only 5 years of work (while it takes us plebs >40 years).

      Liberté, Égalité*, Fraternité, brothers…
