This statistic indicates the share of poor retirees in France between 2015 and 2021. The poverty rate shown here is calculated by indicating the share of people living with an income that represents less than 60 percent of the median income in France. In 2021, 10 percent of retirees lived below this threshold compared to 6.6 percent in 2016. Despite this significant increase, retirees are less affected by poverty than other age groups in the French population. In 2022, the youngest were the most affected by poverty.
