In recent years, five times as many people have crossed the 75-year mark, according to the general manager of AG2R-la Mondiale on Wednesday on franceinfo. He adds that to face this demographic challenge, we must anticipate.
“We are facing a demographic shock absolutely major, recalls Bruno Angles, general manager of AG2R-la Mondiale, Wednesday April 19 on franceinfo. Not long ago, we had 50,000 people turning 75 every year. Today it’s 250,000 a year.”

According to the managing director of AG2R-la Mondiale, a range of solutions must be developed. And above all anticipate, in particular by building up a savings now: “We tend not to think about the retirement savings plan when we’re young, and yet that’s when you have to start saving. In particular, to be kept at home, assure Bruno Angles. Home maintenance work is around 10,000 euros. It’s both a little and a lot.”
This debate on aging well is taboo in France and it must be had according to the boss of the joint and mutualist group. “It is our social responsibility to bring this debate on aging well, which is very insufficient in the public square”, considers the general manager of AG2R-la Mondiale.
