The French labor code outlines specific hazardous conditions, offering workers exposed to things like extreme temperatures or night shifts points that can go toward early retirement. “The young need to fight for working conditions that are respectable to them.” “People shouldn’t wait for retirement to have liberty,” said Mr. Doron began work at 18 as a metal worker, and later became a warehouse stocker at France Télécom - the former national telephone company that became synonymous with horrific work culture in France, after dozens of employees committed suicide and managers were sent to jail for “institutional moral harassment.” Jean-Pierre Doron was painting a chest to be filled with confetti.

Guérin added, “that working time is time waiting to be able to enjoy life.” It is also seen as compensation for working life. “It’s a time of liberty, to finally enjoy your grandchildren, your interests, your desire to travel, to volunteer and be elected in your community.” No longer a short reprieve before death, retirement is now seen as “the afternoon of life, a time that is blessed,” said Serge Guérin, a professor of sociology specializing in old age at Iseec Business College in Paris.
