Abstract: [With a particularly low employment rate for seniors, i.e., people in the 55-64 age bracket, which is significantly lower than the average for European Union countries, France stands out. Is this singularity an asset or a handicap? Some people believe that half of the older population, precisely those aged 60-64, should not be working and that there is therefore no reason to think about improving their employability. But it is not forbidden to ask whether this low employment rate does not have its drawbacks. And, if so, it is appropriate to make proposals for improving the employability of older people.]
