In France, pensioners earn more money than people who work.

While boomers in the U.S. and UK are being forced to go back to work because they can’t afford to retire in the current climate, pensioners in France are not just kicking up their feet—they’re even out-earning those with jobs.
French retirees over the age of 65 now make more money relative to the average salary of working-age adults in the country, according to a Financial Times analysis of a recent Luxembourg Income Study. The average pensioner earned about €1,626 gross per month ($1,926) at the end of 2022, and currently earn around 2% more than working adults.
Although it’s a marginal gain, it’s the total opposite of retirees in most other nations; American pensioners earn about a sixth less in relative income compared to employed adults, U.K. retirees bring in about a fifth less, and retired Australians face the largest disparity, with a third less in income.
