Pension reform: the pension bonus ‘will benefit the people who need it the least’ according to Jean Hindriks, professor of economics at UCLouvain

CThis measure will benefit people who need it least

For Jean Hindriks: “This measure will benefit people who need it least.“, that is to say, people with the highest levels of education, people with positions that are often less arduous and better paid… In other words, people with wealthier pensions.

People with the most precarious pensions, who sometimes occupy jobs described as difficult, receive, as this specialist in the issue of pensions mentions, “a double punishment“.

Nearly one in five people who work in a difficult job die before the age of 65.

According to the expert, “workers in the construction or cleaning sector, for example, have low salaries and you should know that, in these professional categories, almost one person in five dies before the age of 65.

A fifth of the population with the smallest pensions is therefore simply excluded from this reform which would have allowed them to make their retirement more comfortable.
