French plan to raise pension age by two years to 64

France's government has proposed raising the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030 in a major reform to the pension system.

PM Elisabeth Borne said the changes were necessary to prevent a major deficit in the system in the future.

Reforming pensions was one of President Emmanuel Macron's main promises when he was first elected in 2017.

But the details immediately triggered an angry response from the unions, with plans for strikes on 19 January.
