Polls indicate also that more 60% of the French people support the strikes and protests. 74% say it will be unacceptable if the government use the article 49.3 which states that the law is accepted without vote by the Parliament). The retirement age would be raised to 64 years (for 43 years of continued work) and the pensions will be lower specially for women, 'short careers' and low wages people. The COR (Counsel of Pension Guidance), which depends of the Prime minister Office directly, said on September 2022 in its latest report that it sees no needs to reform the pension system as it shares in the French GDP will remain steady at least 2070.
