The deficit pension plans has beenThis is cipheré at 18 billion‘euros in 2020or 0.8% of gross domestic product (GDP), according to the Council of‘orientation of pensions (COR). Its November 2020 forecast called for a deficit of 23.5 billion euros.euros. This deficit should be rreduce in 2021 and drop below 10 billion‘euros.

The ratio of contributors to retirees, 1.7 in 2020would decrease to 1.3 in 2070 according to COR projections, due to the aging of the French populationeasy. But the decline in the ratio between the number of contributors and the number of retirees would be mitigateded by the increase in the average retirement age to retirement.
