Seems quite simple.

The reason that the French retirement age is 62 is because they fight against raising it. The reason that other nations retirement ages keep rising is because their people don't fight against raising it.

We can argue reasons and justifications all we want but the bottom line is that government will always try to get away with whatever it can.

As the strikes are costing France over $500m a day, they won't be able to afford to stay on strike much longer.....
