Abstract

Retirement Age Choices. Incentives under the General Social Security Scheme Rules and Effects of the 1993 reform by Louis-Paul Pelé and Pierre Ralle This paper studies private-sector employees' retirement age choices in the absence of constraints.

Given this assumption, we study how the generation of individuals bom in 1960 would be affected by the 1993 reform. Relatively few employees would put back their retirement age. The drop in pension, affecting all employees, would depend to a great extent on the length of working Ufe.
