But workers say the reforms would see them retiring later or facing reduced payouts.
Mr Macron's system would reward employees for each day worked, awarding points that would later be transferred into future pension benefits. The official retirement age has been raised in the past decade from 60 to 62, but remains one of the lowest among wealthy nations. In the UK, for example, the retirement age for state pensions is 66 and is due to rise to at least 67.
The French reforms would remove the most advantageous pensions for a number of jobs, and unions fear the new system will mean some workers having to work longer for a lower pension.Protesters march in Paris against pension reform
While he just ruins the lives of people permanently.... good grief the plank
The EU Stooge is losing. BBC by backing the EU, has been backing the losing side again.
