Definition — Period age at retirement (first direct-right pension, all mandatory schemes, retirees living in France or abroad): observed (Drees), then projected by the COR (same projection in every scenario). Neither the legal age nor the age of exit from the labour market.

• Period age at first direct-right pension, all mandatory schemes (Drees models). The legal minimum age, the age of exit from the labour market (OECD) and the age at which the pension is claimed are three different things.
• The COR projects the age at retirement identically in every scenario (it depends on the legislation and on careers, not on the economic assumptions). The headline is the last observed year, never a projection.
• The COR’s 2025 « observed » point comes from the Social Security Accounts Commission forecast (CCSS): it is shown as an estimate (dashed), the headline is the last fully observed year (2024).
