[suspension des retraites](javascript:void(0)) means the temporary halt or pause in the implementation of the pension reform. In 2025 in France, the government announced a suspension of the pension reform that had raised the legal retirement age to 64 and increased the required contribution period. This suspension means no increase in the legal retirement age or contribution period will take effect until after the next presidential election in 2027. Workers who would have been affected by the reform benefit from keeping the previous retirement age and contribution framework temporarily. The suspension represents a political and social concession following public and union pressure, opening the way for renewed debate on the future of pensions in France.
